Israel's Puppy, Tony Blair

ou’ve got to admire Tony Blair’s tenacity. Despite his terrible failures in Iraq and with the Palestinian Authority, the former British prime minister continues to pontificate about the Middle East’s ills and cures.
Seven years after he was appointed as the special envoy for the so-called quartet of Middle East peacemakers (the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia), the occupied territories of Palestine are still under siege. And 11 years after he co-sponsored the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the country is falling apart.
But don’t expect Mr. Blair to reconsider, admit mistakes or take responsibility for his blunders. Unfazed by criticism, he argues that irrespective of their occupation, Iraq and Palestine would in any case be in turmoil.
