Britain questions Blair on Iraq war (again)

Was the Iraq war justified? Most intelligent people would say no.
Was Saddam Hussein responsible, or linked in any way, the 9/11 terrorist attacks? Most honest people would say no.
Did the Troika Aznar, Bush and Blair, supported in a minor role by Berlusconi, fabricate facts to plunge humanity into one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in history? Most intelligent people would say absolutely.
So why are the culprits of this fiasco still around, fêted, treated as elder statesmen, respected and even listened to? The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind.
As we speak, Tony Blair is facing tough questions in yet another Iraq war inquiry in Britain. The purpose? Nothing. Nada. Rien. Because nothing comes out of these media events. It gives investigators something to investigate, commission panelist a reason to put on pompous panels, reporters something to write about, and bloggers something to blog about. End of day, poppycock.
British newspapers are talking about Blair's vigorous response. They say he stands by his decision, however wrong the facts may have proven. Last I checked, stuborness was a sign of stupidity, not a trait to respect and worthy of emulation. By day's end, Tony Blair will return home to his London luxury loft. He'll enjoy a fine glass of Bordeaux (what else???) with his greasy roast beef. He'll glow with pride at having faced the tough questions and held his ground. What a monstrosity. He'll be beaming.
Iraq, however, will remain plunged into a long journey of human suffering: the dead will remain dead, their families will keep grieving, the demoralizing climate of fear and uncertainty will remain the new reality, courtesy of Mr. Blair and company.
