Blair’s Trick

Blair’s Trick

The greatest boost ever received by Islamic
fundamentalism was the invasion of Iraq.  Closely
followed by extraordinary rendition, Abu Ghraib,
Guantanamo and drones, and Israeli bombings of
Gaza.  All of those things lead some Muslims to
believe a violent response by terrorism is required
to defend themselves.  So for Tony Blair, who has
promoted huge hatred and caused unnumbered deaths
through a career of deceit and self-enrichment, to warn
about
the dangers of Islamic terrorism is
something nobody but a few Guardian and Murdoch
acolytes wish to hear.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. 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.
