Tony Blair’s recent outburst on Political
Islam sounds like an indirect confession. He has contributed towards its rise,
and now wants the rest of the world to contain it. His message sounds like an intolerant
person who cannot co-exist with an opposing view. If political Islam is the
people’s choice then what exactly is the problem Mr Blair? Or Is Blair an intolerant
extremist who wants to impose his ways on others?
He is also a war criminal;
accordingly, he should stand for trial at The Hague. However, that is extremely
unlikely, regardless of his crimes and the evidence presented, because leaders
of a western block countries set the rules to subject others, whilst they have
total immunity. The empirical evidence corroborates this; the International Criminal
Court (ICC) has been largely applied on former leaders of African and Arab countries.
In the spirit of equality and progress, we must break from our ‘prejudice’ and pluck
out a leader for a trial from the Western block, be it Blair or Bush or even a
second rate Dick Cheney will do. It is possible, the US produced a black
leader, even though he may not be black enough for some, but at least it’s something.
Likewise, we may get to a point, where
the international tribunals are applied to all war criminals, not just the
non-white ones.
