Blair, as Middle East Envoy (who has done nothing for Palestinian/Israeli peace), wandered through the West Bank yesterday (suggesting no solutions, pressing the flesh as envoys do---and nodding as if he single-handedly knew a way to solve the problems of a 60 year conflict), was called a"terrorist" by an onlooker. Blair earns good money as an envoy and has grand apartments in some palace or other when he overnights in Jerusalem. He reminds me of a bath attendant who gets tips for flushing loos and mopping floors for the gentry but couldn't give a damn except for the tips.Can't fix a faulty cistern though. Blair's tips are huge.

Terrorist? What a misnomer. Tony Blair is a war criminal along with his cronies Bush and Rumsfeld. This man plotted war for no reason and being brighter than Bush, you would have thought he knew of the consequences of the aftermath.Everyone knows about the Iraq invasion but what many do not think on are the dirty reasons for starting it and the lack of preparation for phase 2---Helping the Iraquis to get their pride back by providing adequate services for electricity, water, sewage, telephones et al. As well as training an adequate police force properly.

You can argue as much as you like but these men were demolishers, not builders.

Ah well, Blair(who may become President of the EU), is in exalted company. Other presidents or leaders who were war criminals have preceded him: Charles Taylor, Kurt Waldheim, Milosevic, Goering and El Bashir of Sudan. There are many more.

The bathroom attendant is about to get a bigger bathroom. Sheesh, that's life.
