 Guess Who Is Not Coming to Margaret Thatcher's Funeral

The importance of Margaret Thatcher's warmongering is reflected in the Falklands theme of her funeral arrangements -- something Tony Blair does not seem to regard as "tasteless".

By Lindsey German

April 12, 2013 "Information Clearing House" -"Stop The War" - Tony Blair has denounced as ‘tasteless’ those celebrating the news of Margaret Thatcher’s death.

"Even if you disagree with someone very strongly," he said, "at the moment of their passing you should show some respect."
He may of course be thinking ahead to his own eventual demise and fearing that the scenes of partying will be reproduced on a much wider scale.
Blair's demand that we all show respect for the dead is somewhat hard to take from the man incriminated in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan civilians.

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.

The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
