Tony Blair : there is a state of war between arabs and the west

[sappatz]

well, for once its not far from the truth...

[Lambros]

It's about time something stopped Bliar from having a good time now he had had to delay his holiday!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the massive protest that is happening tomorrow in London!

Or maybe today's front page headline in the Independent.

Could someone please go to Last Minute Dot Com and get him a one way ticket to somewhere far away.

Israel has done a marvelous job of uniting the Arab world behind Hezbollah. Which was not the case before, according to respected US Senator John Mitchell.

Not far from the truth? I disagree. The truth is that it is between the muslims and the west. For a start, as I understand it Iranians aren't arabs, and they are the worst of the lot.

Blair is a mealy-mouthed g1t. Never assume that he is telling the truth.

He would never say muslims were at war with the west - after all his government has encouraged so many muslims to leave their home countries, move to the South East of England, and then complain about how we have 'different values', and organise to change our behaviour to match theirs.

Just as long as they vote labour, like the 'devoluted' Scottish mp's, bribed with a generous share of the UK tax take to keep them dependent and 'onside'... then they will continue to be allowed in - new labour will simply change their status so they do not appear on official statistics.

I'm sure plenty of French, Spanish and Iraqis would say the same about the English.

Aux contraire. 'Tis the other way round. That should read I'd have thought ...

"Hezbollah has done a marvellous job of uniting the Arab world behind Hezbollah."

It takes two to tango - you can't achieve notoriety unless someone helps that to happen.

No.

You might not have noticed that Israel has bombed the tulip out of Lebanon, killing almost 1,000 people, injuring tens of thousands, displacing 1 million, and destroying the civilian infrastructure (bridges, roads, homes etc). They've even created an environmental catastrophe by bombing a coastal power station, and releasing huge amounts of fuel oil into the Mediterranean Sea. The pollution is on the same scale as one of the tanker catastrophes (Exxon Valdez?).

You might also have noticed that the Arab world considers the response brutal. As does much of the rest of the world.

You might not know that the Arab press condemned the Hezbollah attack on Israeli soldiers, considering it counter-productive. You know that they are now condemning Israel. Exactly what those cheeky fun loving Hezbollah chappies want.

Are you also Sinbad?
