Tony Blair

Of all the important things going on at the moment, and there are a good many competing for the prime spot, none is more important, far reaching or deeper than the ‘see into my heart’ interview given by the former Prime Minister.

It is fundamental because it tells us that with this man at the helm of our country, who at the time I very much admired, what we were told by him was not only clearly wrong about weapons of mass destruction, but if that had been spotted at the time, he would have used some other excuse.

This is not a spat about the level of income tax or asylum rules, it is about invading a sovereign country (albeit rather a frightening one) because we did not approve of its government. It cost the lives not only of our own brave troops but tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of innocent civilians, women and children included. And for what outcome? Continuing instability, bombings and privations years afterwards in a saga of despair lasting longer than the second world war.

Never in history has a ruler of this country so flagrantly abused the trust placed in him by the people. Never again will the people trust their government, not just on little issues of self interest, but on big issues that really matter. This is a disaster, which must be repaired. I have said before that we need a proper Constitution formalise and control the power of government. This episode underlines the reasons why. Among the many constraints and obligations it would embody would be one to make it unconstitutional to wage aggressive war  and invade a foreign country, unless directly threatened. Many civilised democracies have this clause already. Time for us to be counted in.

The notion that home defense starts in the wild mountains at the other end of the earth and thus we have a right to send our military wherever the government of the day(which we cannot from experience trust) decides, is complete, utter and absolute rubbish.

  1. If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. Don’t give up your morals for anything. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.

    You need to get upset! Really its a must to take a look past everything and get upset. Now this will let you take the next steps to becoming successful.

  3. Depending on yourself to make the decisions can really be upsetting and frustrating. Many of us develop this ability over the course of our life. Its not the sort of thing that simply just happens.

  12. Sometimes I question the internet and what is posted? Recently it seems to have become an epidemic, although it seems to be changing for the better. What are your thoughts?

  13. What a great blog. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an amazing post. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only a few posses and frankly you have it. The combination of informative and quality content is definitely extremely rare with the large amount of blogs on the internet.

    Just now you can branch out from your daily understanding. Don’t give up your morals for anything. Generally this will lead to a mistaken and unproductive life.

  24. This is a different sort of opinion that many people don’t usually talk about. Usually when I find stuff like this I stumble it. Although this time I’m not sure if this would be best for the users. I will be sure to submit something else though.

    Just now you can branch out from your daily understanding. The best thing you can do is become relevant with yourself and faithful with your own morals. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.

  27. If you are like a lot of people you can simply overlook this. Don’t give up your morals for anything. Generally this will lead to a mistaken and unproductive life.

  30. It’s pretty interesting that the mainstream media has changed the way it looks at this recently dont you think? What once seemed like a never discussed issue has become more prevelant. Overall though I’m looking for a change.

    It’s pretty interesting that the mainstream media has changed the way it looks at this recently dont you think? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. It’s that time to chagnge our stance on this though.

  36. Recently, I did not give plenty of consideration to making feedback on blog page articles and have placed feedback even much less. Reading through via your nice post, will assist me to do so sometimes.
