Blair used Kosovo War to justify invading Iraq

Here’s another reason why I opposed the Nato bomb­ing of Yugoslavia in 1999. Give war crim­in­als like Blair an inch and they’ll take the rope and go on to invade the rest of the world:

Wood told the inquiry that some min­is­ters and even the then prime min­is­ter, Tony Blair, used to privately claim that the Nato bomb­ing of Kosovo in 1999 provided a use­ful pre­ced­ent for going to war in Iraq.

They murder while we accidently kill

I’ve lost count of the num­ber of times I’ve run into right-wingers who seem to have an unwaver­ing belief that the crimes of their foes are be loudly pro­claimed and harshly pun­ished while their own crimes are to be wholly jus­ti­fied in the pur­suit of their ideo­logy. The ends jus­ti­fies the means apparently.
