This thread is not about Iraq. It is about raising awareness about the shocking an deplorable failure of our government(s) to sanction Israel for their despicable acts of atrocity in Gaza.
But I think you must have been sleeping, like a little mythical creature in a fairy tale, AmIIndecisive, for the past few years. Because you seem bizarrely unaware of what is a part of the cultural wall-paper in the UK.
Only someone who was a. very young at the time b. has the memory of a mnemonically-challenged goldfish c. was not resident in the UK, or perhaps all three, could miss the fact that there was a huge outcry in the UK about the Iraq war.
Further: only those either a. not resident in the UK (and not arsed to do any research) b. asleep could fail to have noticed that the condemnation of the Iraq war continues to be huge over here.
It's not even a non-mainstream position to condemn the Iraq War.
It is received wisdom that the historical reputation of Tony Blair was irrevocably damaged by his role in the war.
It is received wisdom that it damaged Labour at the last election.
It is received wisdom that it continues to damage Labour electorally.
It caused a major row between the government of the day and our Secret Services.
How did you many to miss all that? And continue to miss it, my mn friend?
But.
This thread is not about Iraq, though. It is about questioning the absolutely abhorrent failure of government(s) - and our government in particular - to adequately sanction Israel.
