Reply #17: Fighting fascism by waging imperialist wars? Brilliant!

Sorry, but helping to kill thousands of Iraqi civilians for no reason is no kind of economic plan I've ever heard of. Any political 'strategy' that requires Blair to be part and parcel of the invasion of Iraq, to stand up with Bush and be counted for everything he stands for is the worst kind of 'ends justifies the means' rhetoric I've ever heard. I'm not sure what tortured rationalization you've developed that makes Blair a hero for supporting this murderous disaster, but insofar as it is a political strategy it is a massive failure--Blair's approval numbers at 43% are lagging the Liberal-Democrat leader Charles Kennedy's by 10%, and they are far worse than recently-elected Zapatero's, for example, whose approval rating is at 60%.
