fela fan said:Dunno about the whole of new labour, but blair i'm sure has a belief system. And that is to make his citizens safe from all those pesky other (uncivilised) citizens who he perceives to be nasty criminals.
fela fan said:Blair is a player too. They care fuck all about lives - iraqi citizens, american or british forces. They are amoral, and so such HUMAN things don't concern them.

She's talking about the number of Iraqi children that died under the sanctions imposed after Gulf war 1.
well, it just goes to show that most US administrations are run by absolute evil callous scumbags, not just this one. Which of course I already know. i don't see what your point is though.frogwoman said:well, it just goes to show that most US administrations are run by absolute evil callous scumbags, not just this one.

frogwoman said:no - i've heard some horrible things about that bitch before, which i didn't really want to believe, since I originally thought the democrats were better...but ...![]()
apparently, Clinton was also planning a second invasion of Iraq...
Barking_Mad said:Occasionally the mask slips, and Albright later said she didn't mean it, but then you can't say much else after that pile of shite, eh?
Liberty and human rights administered by secular courts, from the cunt who called the rights of a suspect a 19th century relic, imposed control orders and outlawed "religious hatred".
