Shooting from the hip

Galloway has said that he believes that some people might think it morally justified, logical and explicable if Tony Blair were to be assassinated and there's been a media uproar about it.  Panelists on both Question Time and Any Questions all condemned Galloway's remarks and claimed to find his comments appalling and unacceptable.

 

Well excuse me but Galloway was right.  A great many people view Blair as someone who set out to kill innocent Iraqis totally outside the law and against the wishes of his electorate.  Kill he did and on his orders the killing goes on and on. 

Some idiot on TV said that people who opposed Blair's war should keep in mind that Saddam's police took thousands of people off the streets and murdered them.  Yup, he did.  Blair and Bush reinstated those very same police to protect the Iraqi public - so consider,  would you ask a policeman the time in Baghdad or report crimes of violence to them?  I suspect not because - and reports appear to bear out my suspicions - these crimes of violence are too often committed by those same well-practised policemen. Some of Bush's troops on the other hand don't take them off the streets to murder them, they simply shoot them where they're standing - IN the street.  When tired of that, they burst into people's homes and shoot down whole families in cold blood.  My Lai anyone?

 

If you object to Galloway's remarks then consider that if you were an Iraqi you might easily view Blair as a butcher of women and children.  No law, no UN, no other country can stop what Blair and Bush are doing, not because they think they're right or just but because Bush has bigger guns and Blair's his bitch. 

 

Would you assassinate Mugabe if you could?  If not, why not?  Cos you see, I would.  It's not only Iraqis who think assassinating Blair would be morally justified, I do too.
