Don’t step down, Tony

Last month, British PM Tony Blair may have considered stepping down. Why? Just because he lied about WMD evidence, just because he contradicted his own MI6 intelligence service, just because he launched a murderous attack on a defenceless third world nation, killing or injuring tens of thousands of people? Just because his attack was for cynical, political and ideological reasons? Oh come on Tony, it’s no big deal. You may be responsible, in part, for all of these atrocities and more, but you don’t come close to the disastrous Winston Spencer Churchill in the warmonger department. Even though Churchill was responsible for escalating or instigating both world wars, he never resigned. In fact, the fat old nutball just became more popular! Up until the war ended, of course. Then the ignorant British public threw this great man out of office. Nevertheless, he’s become ever more popular with each passing year. Now, he’s considered the Man of the Twentieth Century (I agree, but not for any admirable reason). I say Tony should give the propaganda-and-lies campaign another shot before he gives in. If an epic mass-murderer like Churchill, phallic cigar stuck in his mouth, saliva running down his chin and all, can convince people he’s a hero, Tony should be able to as well. On the other hand, Churchill never had to deal with the Internet, or more specifically, this website. I am optimistic, however, that Tony Blair may, if the human race lasts long enough, be declared, in true Churchillian fashion, the Man of the Twenty-First Century.
