yes perhaps, I agree with that I suppose
But not this sort of angry accusation, anyone who thinks they understand the motivatiosn of every voter is on cloud cuckoo land. Given that many people don't see lib dems / green as viable, well what do they do? NOT voting is a sin, imo.
And we all vote with ourselves in mind. My inclination was to vote green, I didn't. Why? Because my DH would lose his job sharpish (he works in the haulage industry). I can't do that to my family.
Every ethical stance I have says thats not right, except that it is, really. Becuse who else is going to look after their interests?
I agree that TB et al should face a court. Not a hysterical lynch mob, but a court. But equally responsible, as I have said, are those Iraqi's (and people from other states I know) who daily bomb each other and commit all sorts of atrocities. If we ignore their part- well actually that denies them their humanity, it denies their ability to make their own choices. If we let them off by randomly screeching at certain public figures we are not doing the Iraqi's any service at all, not the vast majority who go to work each day and pray for normality.
LLok at what happened and learn from it, I know I have, I'm a lot less trusting of certain politicians. Bt at the same time, take that and move on. We can't stop the clock back then, we have to get in there now and sort the awful mess. And to say as well that all people who voted Labour- thre were quite a few Labour rebels on the vote. They should be praised for havuing the eprsonal integrity to stand up and make that known, to go for their beliefs. Not chastised because of their leader- who they may not have voted for, any more than Aloha voted for TB.
Do I think TB not getting in would have changed a thing? No. America doesn't see us as a great alibi: more like (imo) a silly ittle follow on. They view themselves as possessors of the Great Right: so did this Country during Imperisalism, it was wrong and deluded then. It seesm to be a phase most powerful nations pass through, but really they should at least be able to use their history books. You don't even need to go as far as Imperialism: you only have to look at the mess other interventions in the Middle East has created to realise that is was a bad idea.
