Halabjah - well that was an Israeli sponsored CIA weapons test, nothing whatsoever to do With Saint Saddam the incredibly Good and Pure, along with his sons who made Mother Teresa look like the Devil incarnate.
Kuwait? again that was the CIA in fancy dress all along, those evil Amerikans  |
What the hell are you talking about? We are talking here about the
illegality of a war that Blair deceived us into entering. If he wanted to depose Saddam Hussein, then that's the justification he should have used, not lies about WMD designed to terrify this country into submission.
Furthermore, the hypocritical Americans and British stand by and do NOTHING about dictators like Mugabe because, of course, his country has nothing they want to pilfer. There are many other tyrants around the globe but Hussein was the target for extremely obvious reasons, and this country were tricked into assisting the Americans do their dirty work and get a foothold in a country rich in natural resources.
Blair and Bush - both as equally evil as the despot they desposed. It is undeniable that Blair's act of taking us into this illegal war has resulted in the UK becoming a joint target of the extremists who are intent on using terrorist attacks against us as an act of revenge. So not only is Blair responsible for the blood on his hands and thecomplete mess he has left in Iraq post war, but also for the casualties this country has suffered in terrorist attacks since, and no doubt for those we have yet to endure.
Britain is not the Policeman of the World, America took that role decades ago and struts around imposing its idea of democracy on a world that does not require or want its intervention. Britain needs to concentrate on its own problems of which there are many, and IF it believes intervention is justified elsewhere, the government has to present a valid and justified reason before sending other people's sons, brothers, fathers off to war.
