Hello, this is Blase Bonpane with a comment.
Here are some thoughts from Harold Pinter, one of the world's greatest living playwrights.
He is speaking to the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, and he says: There's an old story about Oliver Cromwell. After he had taken the town of Drogheda the citizens were brought to the main square. Cromwell announced to his Lieutenants:
Kill all the women and rape all the men." One of his aides said: "Excuse me General. Isn't it the other way around?" A voice from the crowd called out: "Mr. Cromwell knows what he's doing!"
That voice is the voice of Tony Blair "Mr Bush knows what he's doing!"
But the fact is that Mr. Bush and his gang do know what they're doing and Blair, also knows what they're doing. They are determined, quite simply, to control the world and the world's resources. And they don't give a damn how many people they murder on the way. And Blair goes along with it.
He hasn't the support of the Labor Party, he hasn't the support of the country or of the
celebrated "international community". How can he justify taking this country into a war nobody wants? The very idea that he has any influence over Bush is laughable.
His supine acceptance of American bullying is pathetic. As for the American elephant, it
has grown to be a monster of grotesque and obscene proportions.
The "special relationship" between the USA and the United Kingdom has, in the last
twelve years, brought about the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Serbia. All this in pursuit of the American and British "moral crusade",
to bring "peace and stability to the world".
The use of depleted uranium in the Gulf War has been particularly effective. Radiation
levels in Iraq are appallingly high. Babies are born with no brain, no eyes, no genitals. Where they do have ears, mouths or rectums, all that issues from these orifices is blood. Blair and Bush are of course totally indifferent to such facts, not forgetting the charming, grinning, beguiling Bill Clinton, who was apparently given a standing ovation at the Labor Party Conference. For what? Killing Iraqi children? Or Serbian children?
Bush has said: "We will not allow the worlds worst weapons to remain in the hands of the worlds worst leaders". Quite right. Look in the mirror chum. That's you. The US is at this moment developing advanced systems of "weapons of mass destruction" and is prepared to use them where it sees fit. It has walked away from international agreements on biological and chemical weapons, refusing to allow any inspection of its own factories. It is holding hundreds of Afghans prisoner in Guantanamo Bay, allowing them no legal redress, although they are charged with nothing, holding them captive virtually forever.
It is insisting on immunity from the international criminal court, a stance which beggars belief but which is now supported by Great Britain. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
Tony Blair's contemptible subservience to this criminal American regime demeans and dishonors this country. Thus ends Harold Pinter's comments to the House of Commons.
