Tony Blair has shamed us.


I am ashamed that Tony Blair is our Prime Minister. Has there ever been a more disreputable, more hypocritical, dishonest man in charge of Britain? I can't think of one. Blair has defied and ignored the will of the people time and time again. He has taken us into war after war and has singlehandedly, and with no good reason, made Britain one of the three major terrorist targets in the world. (The other two being Israel and America - hardly nations with which we can be proud to be associated.) Bush and Blair are today's Hitler and Mussolini.

I am ashamed that Britain now seems to be linked inextricably with America - the world's number one terrorist nation. I am ashamed that our Government obediently supports the illegal activities of Israel - in order not to upset the Americans.

I am ashamed that Britain is now fighting a religious war in order to support the aims and ambitions of zealots in the USA and Israel. I am ashamed that Britain has become the BAD nation. Britain has become part of the modern axis of evil.

I am ashamed that we should be allied with a nation (America) which seems to care so little when its soldiers commit heinous war crimes. (A country which has made itself exempt from international law so that its soldiers cannot be tried for war crimes.)

In the eyes of the world, Britain is inextricably linked to the USA. We are responsible for what their soldiers do. If two men rob a bank and one kills a guard the robber who did not pull the trigger is still held responsible.

When America uses landmines and cluster bombs (both illegal) Britain is responsible. When American troops torture Iraqi prisoners Britain is responsible.

The behaviour of these war criminals is unforgiveable. But maybe that is what happens when leaders take their armies into illegal and immoral wars. Bush and Blair must take responsibility for the actions of the soldiers they sent into battle so cruelly, so wickedly and so unnecessarily.

You and I must do everything in our power to throw George W. Bush and Tony Blair out of office. Those who do nothing must share responsibility for their actions.
