Time Out
In 1973 America signed a ceasefire to end its miltary action in Vietnam. In 2007 America and Britain find themselves bogged down in a similar sort of conflict in the Middle East with no sign of an end to hostilities. George Bush has run out of ideas on what to do,that is of course if you believed he had any in the first place. Tony i’ll retire eventually Blair just goes with the flow,as it will soon be someone elses problem.
Thousands are dying needlessly and we lurch from one crisis to another. There were no weapons of mass destruction,this in case you have forgotton was the excuse used to invade Iraq and capture their oil reserves. Capitalism is running this war and  Bushes oil buddies are making the policy,mainly on the hoof.
This is Blair’s and the Labour party’s nemisis.He is at a lose to know what to do,and tries to lie to the people about the reality of the situation. Iraq was not our business. If the people wanted rid of Saddam then it was up to them,we had no business getting involved.
Wasn’t it us and America that armed Iraq when it went to war with Iran. Short memories there then. Did we not have a murky hand in the supplies of the gas that killed the Kurds.
Our excuse about democracy is a pretty thin one,since Kuwait was hardly a bastion of democracy when Iraq invaded there. But that was forgotton as the arabs have the tap that turns off the oil,so Kuwait became our best friend. American firms get the contracts to rebuild Iraq, while the people suffer and die in this terrible carnage.
It is time to be bold and admit we were wrong to invade Iraq,make the peace and get out before it is really to late,just like the Americans did in 1973.Â
