I for one find George W Bush’s & Tony Blair’s reasoning and motives deeply worrying rather than stupid, the whole point of a democracy is for everyone to have a chance to select their representatives to send for their issues.
Now what we have in the New world order oh sorry the US and UK administrations is a situation where there is little to NO opposition.
In the case of the UK the opposition are so inept that Mr Blair can almost act as European Present wantabe. His homeland policies are a joke (education, health service and law and order) and he’s spent more time on whistle stop tours for US than he has at Number ten and Westminster. Our once Great nation has decided into the hell of being a provincial state for the US and our relationship with our European neighbours has grown ever distant.
The title of Mr Blair being GWB’s lap dog is just a tad optimistic , from the look of the special “relationship” we are more of a fall guy.
Remember Mr Blair did admit live during a interview that our forces would pay the “blood Price” for any engagement that the US forces engage in.his very own words
in other words … its so that not all the body’s in the body bags are American
As for the US, here we have a President for the first time that has held office without the majority of the publics support, he only got in on a technicality rather than a show of force.
His home affairs are almost as bad as Mr Blairs, and I think he’s the only president who is trying to provide economic sweeteners to make people forget about the possible war.
International policy is next to non existent and is still on the basis
“Your with us or against us”
I am sorry but the world isn’t all black and white
His stance on Iraq is puzzling when you consider that North Korea is not only in breach of UN protocols on nuclear development, but they openly boast about it. Yet again here we are on the verge of a War of Double Standards.
Plus by current projections North Korea can be Nuclear capable in a matter of a couple of years and from their investment into ICBM development they can be capable of launch a nuclear strike on mainland America by 2015.
The list of Allies for the US is equally worrying never mind the enemies, Saudi Arabia for example have a appalling human rights record (they almost have as bad a record as Iraq), and as for the whole Iraq issue.. Then ask your self this who was it in the US Admin that Sold Saddam Weapons grade Anthrax?
The Current US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sold him it just before the first gulf war , that’s who.
Anyway you might call me a traitor , you might dismiss this as a mindless rant, but you can’t escape that this is my opinion on both our leaders and I am entitled to have it.
I am sorry if it offends anyone
