War party ousted

So the Liberal Democrat boomlet fizzled out, and the Brits are saddled with the horrible Tories. No doubt this is quite depressing for some English people, but I say good riddance to New Labour, the Anglo equivalent of Clintonism without the vaginal cigar.

It’s amazing to pour down column after column in the British papers and find tales of coming horror from aghast liberals while there are virtually no references to Tony Blair’s great crime—the slaughter occasioned by the colonial conquest of Iraq. Which failed, no one seems to recall.

Unbelievable that Britain’s curiously provincial scribblers can bang on about their national health service, the coming cuts in social expenditure, immigration policy and whether the Queen should ride in a carriage drawn by four horses or six. But none of these sophisticated wankers can condemn the snakes running their favorite party for raining death on foreigners in a pointless war and turning their country into a nightmare of violent lawlessness, tyranny, dysfunction and collapse.

The Tories didn’t object to that, and they might well have sucked George Bush off in precisely the same way Blair’s Labourites did. But that’s no excuse. May they all join W and Tony and rot in hell throughout eternity. The decent ones resigned in protest.
