You know how sometimes you read a column that's just so awful that you can't help but think "his Editor must hate him"?

I'd have assumed the Editor of the Independent's commentary section hates Tony Blair even before reading this irredeemable nonsense. This is, after all, the paper that gives a home to Robert Fisk.

Just because Bush-Blair killed many times more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein doesn't mean the war wasn't a good idea. Just because Saddam Hussein fought the Iranians for 8 years with 2 million dead doesn't mean he was more effective at containment. Since you decided to convert to Catholicism after office, why don't you run your thoughts by Francis I for reaction?

Dumbya's little brother says what?

I'm ready to round up every damn one of these neo con assholes and drop them from 30,000 feet straight into the desert where the fighting is raging and let them actually deal with fucking mess they created (with votes, but no parachutes)

<i>Is it likely that Hussein might have used weapons on his own people because he was a fucking monster?</i>

obviously Blair thinks the browns are much better off if they are killed by Brits or Yanks.
