Anti-nuclear protestors block a road in Parliament Square in London Wednesday March 14, 2007.

Blair has told the House of Commons that Britain's fleet of four nuclear-armed submarines - due to be phased out from 2022 - should be replaced to meet possible future threats from rogue regimes and state-sponsored terrorists.
