Archbishop Chides Blair on IraqPosted on Feb 5, 2010
The archbishop of Canterbury has some choice words for Tony Blair. The public intellectual criticized Blair’s lack of empathy and his defensive posturing regarding recent inquiries into the Iraq war, declaring the former prime minister to be “one of the most un-Dostoevskian characters in Britain.” Ouch. Characters in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novels are famous for their soul-searching and empathy, characteristics the archbishop feels Tony Blair lacks. —JCL

I for one wish to see Blair pay for his lies and deception which didn’t stop at total destruction of Iraq, once a prosprous country,but mocked the intelligence of all decent people.I remember the Kewaiti girl testifying before the Senate on the alleged crimes committed by Iraqi soldres against Kwaitis.It was almost near perfect play, with the girl describing how she witnessed Iraqis preventing infents from getting the necessary oxegen and how they were thown off their incubators.All Senators attending the farce were voleuntarily inclined to believe every word as long as it incriminate Iraq.The irony was that, the girl who claimed to witness all those atrocities was none but the daughter of the Kwaiti embassedor to the US,and had never been to Kwait for more than three years,yet none of the Honorable Senators had the decency verify or sbstantiate her narrative.Shame on humaity should Blair go an accounted for the crimes he committed against humanity.

Blair should confess and repent. Then he should testify against Bush and Cheney at the the war crimes trial. They then should all be taken to Iraq and given just punishment whatever the Iraqi people decide.
