The prime minister is a war criminal

Like Chamberlain in the 30s, Blair is an appeaser of a dangerous global
power. He should be in prison, not standing for election

Tony Blair has been the worst prime minister since Neville Chamberlain,
a figure with whom he shares a number of significant characteristics.
Actually Neville Chamberlain did his job well. He kept the Germans off our
backs, long enough until Fighter Command, the defensive component of the RAF
was ready for the Luftwaffe.
Chamberlain was a supremely confident and arrogant politician, an
excellent speaker and a deeply religious man with a hotline to God. He
had an unassailable majority in parliament, was popular in the country
and presided over a cabinet stuffed with nonentities.
And had a German army, three times the size of ours, better trained and
equipped, just ready to kick our butts.
Unfamiliar with the outside world, he conducted his own disastrous
foreign policy with the help of backroom advisers as ignorant as
himself.
Total bollocks. We the British, with our scant resources, ruled at this time
a quarter of all humans. One doesen't do this by being ignorant.
By seeking to appease the German government, the principal
threat to world peace at the time, he onlysucceeded in encouraging that
country's appetite for aggression and expansionism. His egregious
errors played a not insignificant role in the outbreak of the second
world war, the principal tragedy of the 20th century.
So then what would you have done in his place?
