The prime minister is a war criminal

[muriel_volestrangler]

From The Guardian - Richard Gott is a retired Guardian journalist, I think.

Like Chamberlain in the 30s, Blair is an appeaser of a dangerous global power. He should be in prison, not standing for election

Tony Blair has been the worst prime minister since Neville Chamberlain, a figure with whom he shares a number of significant characteristics. Chamberlain was a supremely confident and arrogant politician, an excellent speaker and a deeply religious man with a hotline to God. He had an unassailable majority in parliament, was popular in the country and presided over a cabinet stuffed with nonentities.

Unfamiliar with the outside world, he conducted his own disastrous foreign policy with the help of backroom advisers as ignorant as himself. By seeking to appease the German government, the principal threat to world peace at the time, he only succeeded in encouraging that country's appetite for aggression and expansionism. His egregious errors played a not insignificant role in the outbreak of the second world war, the principal tragedy of the 20th century.

Blair has followed in his footsteps, and is destined for the same place in history's hall of infamy. Like Chamberlain, he is an arrogant and God-fuelled appeaser, the unseemly ally of an unbridled country that presents a global threat similar to Germany in the 1930s.

Instead of seeking a grand alliance to confront this new danger - "a coalition of the unwilling" that would include the Europeans, the Russians and the Chinese - Blair has sided with the evil empire. He has taken up a role as its principal cheerleader, obliging Britain to become a participant in its wars of aggression. Today's Labour party has been a supine collaborator in this policy of appeasement, just like the Tory party in the 1930s. Blair's war party must be defeated at the polls.

1. Whoa, great "spin", congratulations to Mr. Gott.

And, yes, of course, all these vicious swine need to have
their day at the Hague.

[indepat]

2. If Gott's assertion the PM is a war criminal has merit, could inferences

be made as to some other high-ranking coalition officials?

3. What inferences, we in America have a war criminal

cabinet-presidency and majority led congress that is softshoeing a number of laws that have been so badly trampled on that there are no excuses that would be considerable under law.

4. If your thesis has merit, what does it say of a people who clamored "four

more years, four more years" in numbers too large to fathom?

5. "Tony Blair has been the worst Prime Minister since Neville Chamberlain"

Er, was this guy having a kip or something between 1979 and 1997?
