A place in the sun?
Hussain, Dhaka
Tony Blair, the tireless "attorney" to the lone warrior (against the world opinion) George Bush earned a questionable reputation. And now his ex-minister Claire Short, said Blair wants a "place in history". Minister Short resigned at last: she should have done so earlier, but then better late than never.Tony Blair did neither dignify the British public by defying their opinion on war on Iraq nor did elevate his personal prestige by his ceaseless incoherent babbling defence of the indefensible in the process of which he took recourse to some cheap untruths. That is down the Thames now. Now his visit to Iraq smacks more like the "emperor no more" taking some cryptic and pervert joy to return to the scene of original crime of British Empire in history when it was in occupation of Iraq in bygone days. What a "victory march" by the ruler of a long gone empire!
