Tony Blair

I think Tony Blair is the perfect example of the western multiculturalist. He praises the multicultural society of Great Britain, but does not mind bombing Iraq. He denounces racism in Britain, even within his own Labour Party, but does not mind killing THOUSANDS of Iraqis. He is the perfect example of the multicultural globalist. He is anti-racist, he loves the multicultural society, he bombs Iraq, he wants to bring democracy all over the world. I, myself, met people like that. They call you a racist if you oppose multiculturalism. But, they don't mind if another country gets bombed, as long as it is done for democracy.

I don't know how I feel about war: I am not a pacifist. However, it seems strange that a keen multiculturalist would support the bombing of another country. If a western politician said "I am against multiculturalism", there would be a huge scandal. But then, Blair, Bush and others are in favour of war, and they get away with that. Is it worse to oppose multicultural policies in your own country, or to kill 650,000 people in Iraq? Believe it or not, I have met people who called me a racist, because I was against multiculturalism, but supported war against Iraq. What do I think about Iraq? I don't know. I have no clear-cut views on war and peace. What I do know is that, sometimes, you get told off because you don't accept multiculturalism or you don't like Muslims. And yet, we are causing the death of thousands of Iraqis.
