'Blair's war to blame' - 2 comments
According to some peace protesters in the Morning Star. Yawn. Perhaps I should pay £1 to read the entire article, but I'm not going to. I'm no fortune teller, but I have a funny feeling that I know what it'll say.

I hear Tony Blair wants UK Muslim community leaders to condemn all forms of terrorism⦠His friend Tom Friedman just wrote an article in the New York Times suggesting âsolutions to this Muslim problemâ such as having Arab teenagers wear T-shirts with anti-terrorist statements on them!
âTerrorismâ is certainly a despicable activityâ¦but masochistic self-incrimination isnât much higher on the moral scale.
After 1944, a certain lobby literally harassed the Vatican and the French government (using guilt by association and other Pharisaic scare tactics) for nearly four decades until they finally got what they wanted: sheepish ârepentanceâ for crimes neither the Catholic Church nor the French government ever committed.
Today, the likes of B-LIAR, Friedman, Wolfowitz, Perl, Cheneybusharielsharon & Co. want Arabs and Moslems to âatoneâ for sins committed by others! Thatâsâ¦how shall I say? ⦠errâ¦kind of grotesque to use a polite word!
We should all condemn the tragic events that took place in London yesterday, but Arabs and Moslems shouldnât forget to put things into perspective: in the past 14 years, British and American pilots flew thousands of illegal âsortiesâ over Mosul, Baghdad, and Tickrit, bombarding methodically Iraqâs civilian and military infrastructure: hundreds of schools, hospitals, factories were burned.
More than 90% of the countryâs water treatment plants and sewage trunk lines were destroyed by Tony Blair and his âbraveâ Tornado top guns: according to official UN figures, more than 500,000 Iraqi children died of malaria and dysentery as a direct consequence of US and British air strikes cum illegal invasion and occupation of a country that posed no threat to the West (whether âimminentâ or otherwise): thatâs 10,000 times more than the number of commuters who died in London yesterdayâ¦yet these innocent Arab boys and girls got 10,000 times less media coverage in the Times, the Telegraph, the BBC, and other âcivilizedâ news outlets.
You see Iâd rather wait for the Brits to do a little introspective atonement first. Then, I would expect them to write blood-lettered excuses on their chest: all of the UKâs T-shirt factories will have to work at full capacity for years before Maryam and other murdered Iraqi baby girls can finally rest in peace.
I'm not rising to the bait, but I will say that the T-shirt idea is a stupid one and not worth taking seriously.
