If there's somebody on the Guardian staff who believes Iain Duncan Smith should replace Blair, then I've missed it.

The Guardian is offering a range of opinion, not a full range of opinion. Rawnsley's piece is written for a audience of Labourites. Within that range, debate about Blair's future and the future of the Labour Party is a great concern.

Frankly, I agree: Blair should go. He should be forced from his post as Prime Minister and bound over to face an international tribunal for war crimes in Iraq. However, I also believe that the mechanics of Blair's ouster need to be carefully planned. To that end, Rawnsley's concerns are well taken.
