Quote from Blairs speech:-
"That decision has to be taken and has to be lived with, and in the end there is a judgment that - well, I think if you have faith about these things then you realise that judgment is made by other people,'' he said.
Asked to explain what he meant, Mr Blair replied: "If you believe in God, it's made by God as well.''
I'm not sure how killing civilians in the name of Christianity makes him better than some nut with a rucksack full of explosives killing civilians in the name of Islam, but there you have it.
Technically as a Catholic he is not supposed to be able to hold office of Prime Minister, the Blair's were always cagey about their religion until more recent times. Hopefully it won't be long now until he goes.
I think the general public's safety and security in both UK and USA has been jeopardized by our stupid governments short sighted and ignorant foreign policies over the last fifteen years.
