Iraqnophobia

You know of a neighbour living a few streets away, he has a bad reputation and he may have some weapons in his house. He may not. You feel something needs to be done about him. Do you:

A) Try not to provoke him?

B) Do some proper research and consult the authorities?

C) Get some mates together, break into his home and slaughter his family, thus making yourself at least as bad as him?

George Bush, surely the worst neighbour in the 'hood, chose 'C', and Tony Blair chose to follow him. Turns out the bad neighbour in question was all talk with regard to his weapons horde.

Mr. Blair showed absolutely no remorse today, despite me shouting "Squirm, you bastard, squirm!!" Even more despicable, he said he would do it again, and mentioned Iran in connection to this. Apparently Iran might have weapons of mass destruction and may be a threat to the rest of the world. Sounds like a couple of countries I could mention...

And where's Mr. Bush in all this? Playing golf? Laughing maniacally, having crapped on the rest of the planet, and wiping his arse with Tonys' soul?

Dear Mr. Green,

Today Mr. Tony Blair showed no remorse for leading us into an illegal war, implied he would do it again even without the evidence of W.M.D's and warned, during the inquiry, that we must take a "tough line" with Iran.

In 2003 you voted "very strongly for the Iraq war" (source: theyworkforyou.com), and I am sure you regret that decision, but it seems, general election miracles notwithstanding, that you may soon find yourself in a similar position again. Can I ask you to assure myself and the people of Ashford you will not make the same mistake next time?

Is there any humanity in the house of commons, or is it just one big vivarium?

    Dear Mr. Damian Green MP,

    Today (29 January 2010) Mr. Tony Blair showed no remorse for leading us into an
    illegal war, implied he would do it again even without the evidence of W.M.D's
    and warned, during the inquiry, that we must take a "tough line" with Iran.

    You voted "very strongly for the Iraq war" (source: theyworkforyou.com), and I
    am sure you regret that decision, but it seems, general election miracles
    notwithstanding, that you may soon find yourself in a similar position again.

    I must also mention that you voted "very strongly" for an inquiry into the Iraq war.

    Can I ask you to assure the people of Ashford and myself you will not make the
    same mistake next time?

  3. Update:

    I recieved a response to this. Unfortunately the KM chose not to print this, so Mr Damian Green MP didn't have to answer it publicly.

    To reproduce it here would be pointless, needless to say he makes excuses for supporting the war, and neglects to answer the question itself.
