(or the world?) <BR/>Blair probably ISN'T a corporate mouthpiece. I think the characterisation of him as Bush's "poodle" is probably unfair too. But he drew us on a phoney pretext into a war and occupation we may be reaping the rewards of for generations.We certainly felt the sting of Islamic wrath last July in London. And do you know what? As much as I loathed Blair's war I still voted for him.I made the cold and chauvanistic and insular and possibly racist calculation that whatever the iniquities of the Government's involvement in Iraq,they were the only political party in the UK who would maintain the National Health Service and leave alone the trade unions.<BR/>It isn't enough to blame everybody else for the fate of your country, or the world.Start at your own nose-tip and work outwards,that's my philosophy.And then, as Dylan says, forgive the sick.It's the only way to heal them.Bruce Hodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023661722366383054noreply@blogger.com
