It is hard not to conclude that one of the greatest obstacles to the kind of better world Blair says he wants - one with less cause for terrorism, even if terrorists will always be around - is the Bush administration, and notably the likes of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. ....What did Blair think when delegates at last week's Republican convention booed speakers who mentioned the UN?
It's such a peaceful world with the UN in charge. I remember well. Let's see - Cambodia, Bosnia without U.S. military, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, North Korea, the beating to death of whites in Zimbabwe. And having both Libya and Syria on the Human Rights Commission is sooooo helpful. I suppose the 87 dissidents in Cuba are deeply resentful of the U.S. Oh, wait, the U.S. is the only one who complained. And the U.S. and the U.K. are the only countries complaining about genocide in the Sudan.
At least we don't pretend terrorists are "separatists" or "militants" or "hostage takers" or the euphemisms of the Left when they embrace children and women killers. The Guardian ought to be ashamed, but you have to be honest to gain a reputation, you have to have a reputation in order to defend it. And that's the difference between us and the Left.
