Please click on that link and please look at the source.

You tell me, I’m not sure what it has to do with the Iraq’s links to terrorism under Saddam?

We’re currently helping Saudi Arabia and I’ve very fucking against it, they have links to terrorism and are committing atrocities with our weapons.
Look you jumped in back on post 63 saying that Bush and Blair magnified massively islamic extremism was nonsense and that Saddam was in cahoots with Al Qaeda yet can produce no credible evidence.

Anyway to ask again was the second gulf war and promotion of an Arab spring anything other than an unmitigated disaster all round?

No no no... you said to “look no further than Bush or Blair” when it came to Islamic extremism.

That statement is ridiculous as Islamic extremism has been there since the inception of the religion.

The leftovers from Iraq resulted in a massive drive in the region, sure, you’ll never hear me say that leaving Iraq in the way we did was a good idea but it isn’t the cause and certainly isn’t the majority reason why we see attacks.

You only have to listen to the extremists themselves, they hate western culture anyway.

Did you read the link? Dead internationally wanted terrorists being found during the Iraq war in Baghdad is evidence enough.

What are you on about regarding promoting the Arab Spring. It started in Tunisia without any input from the west at all. Do you think if the West has not got involved in subsequent conflicts there would have been less deaths? The west only got involved in Syria at a fairly late stage after hundreds of thousands had already been killed and if the west hadn’t supported the overthrow of Gaddaffi, there’s little doubt he would have killed thousands of his own people. There’s no doubt Libya was a monumental fuck up but it wasn’t started by the west. In fact, the west had started to do business with Gaddaffi after it had been a pariah state since Lockerbie.

Tony Blair

"Tony Blair warns the west today that it urgently needs a wider plan to respond to the Arab spring, including a warning to autocratic leaders across the Middle East "to change or be changed".

The Arab world needs to change in its own time and not some western inspired democracy foisted on them by people like Blair who only made things worse and led to more deaths.
Our style of society and govt is not theirs.

Thanks for proving my point. Blair was calling for a plan to respond to it not to promote or instigate it.
 
"to change or be changed". That's a plan? and how has that worked out?

Tony Blair had been out of power for the 3 years when the Arab Spring started, what the fuck are you talking about?

He was calling for us to help other people, as we often have, what’s wrong with that ?

The whole Arab Spring was because they wanted the change themselves.

They literally rose up to oppose their regimes.

How the fuck is that not wanting it?

Blair’s record prior to Iraq was exceptional, NI, Balkans, Sierra Leone etc.

He knows more about this stuff, including mistakes he’s learned from, than anyone.

Yes, indeed. Those inferior people eh? They can't cope with the idea of wanting freedom or the right to choose their government. Bless their little cotton socks, if only they were as advanced as we are.
