what is Tony Blair doing today? As the UNs Middle East peace envoy, he has seemed to do little outside of calling for more war in the region. Whether it be in Libya, which, following western intervention, has descended into an abyss of lawlessness, chaos and violence. Or in pressing the case for war against Iran. Or in supporting Israels right to defend itself by slaughtering thousands of defenceless Palestinians -- many of the women and children. Or in recommending troops on the ground for intervening in Syria. Or, most unbelievably of all, calling for a new war in Iraq.. How Blair can be so shameless in advocating a new Iraq war beggars belief. In 2003, he and George W Bush used a raft of lies to take Britain into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, devastated the country and provoked a catastrophic sectarian civil war. This was the seed bed for the growth of ISIS, the jihardist movement now over-running vast areas of Iraq and Syria. You would think Tony Blair would stay silent on these issues, given the widely recognised part he has played in the destabilisation of the region for which he is meant to act as peace envoy. Such is the outrage at Blairs insatiable war lust that a high profile petition was intiated recently by prominent public figures -- including Noam Chomsky, Stephen Fry, George Monbiot and Russell Brand -- calling for him to be sacked as Middle East peace envoy. As it is, Blair is unable to travel anywhere without the threat of a citizens arrest for war crimes. There have been at least five attempts. The website ArrestBlair.org has put a bounty on Blairs head and will pay a reward to anyone who makes an attempt to feel his collar.
