Hate-Riddled Liberal Gusto "Indicts" Blair As War Criminal

Brits “Play Act” Indictment of Tony Blair for Iraq Related Crimes
Washington Note, July 13, 2007

A brief reply by Con George-Kotzabasis

The political guru of the Washington Note Steven Clemons with a hate-riddled gusto of a liberal, informs his readers of a BBC radio programme that indicts Tony Blair as a war criminal for the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq. Hinting the same fate awaits the Bush administration. In the effusion of his gusto, however, he is completely mindless and cannot foresee that the cause celebre indictment of the twenty-first century will be the liberal intelligentsia's accountability before history for its play act with the greatest threat Western civilization encountered in our era, i.e., Islamist terror and its state sponsors.

This will be the "Play Act" Indictment of the liberals’ crime for treating this stealthy and ominous danger with derisiveness and facetiousness, as this play act on Blair, and others, illustrates. On this stupendous irresponsibility of the liberals, history will place a gravestone upon their feeble moral and political stand from which they will never be able to disentomb themselves.

The failure of our response.

If terrorism is the greatest threat to Western civilization, then the greatest political failure of our time is the total inability of both Bush and Blair to convince either the American or the British publics that the invasion of Iraq was the appropriate response to the threat. From the beginning, before it became clear that the Iraq war was unwinnable, B&B failed to prove their assertation that Iraq was a good way (let alone the best way) to allocate our limited anti-terrorist resources.

"Liberals", by and large, have rarely downplayed the threat of terrorism - they though have belittled and ridiculed the ineffectual and wrongheaded response. Instead of actually convincing anyone of the wisdom and rightness of their cause, Neo-cons chose to market their misadventure with cliches and easily disprovable fallacies (e.g "we'll fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here").

The Neo-cons now have no one but themselves to blame if they find that their point of view is being largely ignored.

We waited 9 months for that post. It was worth it.
