Knowing that after the Iraq fiasco, Blair is regarded in many British circles as a war criminal, a liar and one who has blood on his hands of the British soldiers and the Iraqi civilians? Even with all that money and whatnot - is she and his children in any way shocked by it all, do you think, and do they regret it?
shareDig deeper. The answer is out there.
shareWhy would they regret it? They got their man in the end, Saddam Hussein was brutally hanged and rightfully so. Politicians never care about the soldiers nor civilians who get killed in the crossfire, history attests to that.
Its also because it is widely believed and informed that Blair LIED DELIBERATELY about the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and has altered the intelligence that was presented to him and proven by Hans Blix, and later, people have discovered that he made many more millions from this war and also siding with political dictators.
And OK well maybe at the time for instance his family members may have believed and thought he did the right thing intentionally and whatnot, even though also millions of people publicly protested on the streets of Britain not to invade Iraq.
And the fact that in Ireland and on many public streets in UK he was often greeted with hostility with people undoubtedly shouting "War criminal" for hours on end and in 2010 even attempting to throw eggs at him, well, that WOULD take effect.
And that documentary "The Killings of Tony Blair" (2016)?
Even with most politicians having flaws and having detractors, it seems that in the last 15 years or so, the Blair hatred has really taken its toll further, or so it seems.
They've never denounced him publicly as far as I know, but maybe he weaseled his way around this conflict and convinced them he did what he thought was right.
Back in 1997, I loved Blair cos he had finally kicked out the Tories and "things can only get better" as the song went. But yes, 2003 was a black and terrible year for the world, and I don't like him anymore neither. That grin, for one thing...
As I was also saying, yeah, just compare how the majority of British public greeted him with joy and anticipation in 1997 and the major hostility following the Iraq campaign not only 6 years later, but many more after that.
Did anyone around that time really think Blair would become Britain's worst nightmare? (Not least also because, his decision to invade Iraq also killed hundreds of British soldiers, many of whom had families that later turned against Mr Blair personally. There were even some soldiers who refused to participate in the war because they have discovered that it would make them DIRECTLY do illegal activities, not just collateral damage, but go into people's houses, steal stuff, abduct them to be tortured and murdered, etc)
Its like, imagine as a non-politician if you go somewhere people will protest against you, accuse you of all the deadly sins, not welcome you, throw items at you etc etc etc, maybe you didn't do something or you did it not knowing it was wrong etc, but point is, it will be extremely troubling and humiliating, and you'll never know if someone from the crowd may attack you for it etc. Wonder if at least TODAY one of Tony Blair's children perhaps MAY feel this way. (
shareI think they're more concerned about him being arrested for being a loo loiterer in his youth.
shareIn the 80s, he was indeed arrested once, apparently for cross dressing and misbehaving in public, or something.
shareThe point being, even if, however wrong they are, they don't PERSONALLY feel too bad about the whole Iraq fiasco and the reasons for starting the war, even with being rich, the law haven't officially proven it, having tons of security and protection etc, knowing that wherever he goes people vehemently protest and even get ready to launch into a physical attack against Tony Blair, it would certainly give family members as such feelings of concern, no?
shareWhy is this monstrosity and his American counterpart George W. Bush allowed to roam free while Assange languishes in Belmarsh prison for exposing the very war crimes these scumbuckets unleashed upon the world through lies and subterfuge?
shareThe thing is, unless they somehow prepared for it over advanced periods of time, I bet that to an extent at least, they were shocked to see for instance what happened or almost happened at his book signing in Ireland and maybe a few times at least they did privately regret that Iraq fiasco of a decision.
shareWith one of their members saying "My God, I can't believe it had to come to this, will we be safe anywhere in the world now?"
