Reply #63: consistent support of Iraq war is a deal-breaker

A large majority of British people are against the war. The labor party could have gotten rid of Blair a lot more easily than Americans can impeach *.

I think Blair genuinely believes in colonialism and imperialism. At least the American companies prompting * are hoping to make a shit load of oil money. UK will not make that much money either. So Blair's delusional imperial dreams and all that bullshit about freedom and liberty are even more intolerable.

I will be very glad if Blair loses, but I don't think that's going to happen. I would have voted Lib Dem.

Domestic policies are not the only parameters to judge an imperial politician. I am sure the empire was great for the British aristocrats in the late 19th and early 20th century. It wasn't so great for tens of millions of Indians who died from the biggest man-made famines.
