‘Tony Blair made mistakes, but I don’t accept
the hatred’
Mistakes?
Lying to people incessantly and bending all the government's
resources towards supporting those lies?
Assisting in killing about a million people, sending
millions running as refugees, setting back one of the Middle East's most
advanced countries for a generation, and effectively planting the seeds for the
rise of horrors like ISIS?
Putting BBC even more under the whims of government
following the awful Doctor Kelly affair?
Taking a posture in international affairs towards the United
States and its many abuses which resembled to many a posture of groveling?
I could extend the list considerably, but I make my point.
If those kinds of acts are not worthy of public revulsion,
what is?
Are we to simply say, that's okay, you horrible man, we all
make mistakes?
