JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: PERSPECTIVE ON BRITISH PETITION AGAINST TRUMP'S UPCOMING OFFICIAL VISIT


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JOE WATTS IN THE INDEPENDENT


Pressure grows on May as a million people sign anti-Trump petition over 'Muslim ban'

So what?

Please remember, just a while before the filthy Tony Blair committed Britain to the invasion and destruction of Iraq, London saw the biggest peace march ever, more than a million people.

It didn't do a thing to stop far more terrifying events than a temporary ban on migration.

The plain fact is that if Blair had not joined in on that murderous assault on the Muslim world, generating years of increasing hatreds and violence on all sides, we likely would not be facing what we face today.

And exactly the same goes for a sleazy politician like David Cameron with his secret support for the destruction of Syria. And how about selling cluster bombs to the rotten House of Saud for use on women and children in Yemen?


Western policies in the Neocon Wars have been appalling, and they are responsible for much of what people fear - both massive migrations of people fleeing American-induced horrors and what we loosely call "international terror," most of which is the response of powerless victims to the destruction of their families and countries.
