Blair and the politics of fear

For any of those remaining Blair supporters, this new report makes it very clear that Blair repeated the same atmosphere of fear that Bush and the GOP used so effectively in the US and it shows just how obsessed with power he truly is. Blair may sound better than Bush, but they are two sides of the same coin. Blair took full advantage of the domestic attack to control the agenda under his single rule instead of joining together in unity across party lines. High profile attack warning that never had any substance? Yep, that too. The report also includes the story of arrests and hype about chemical (ricin) manufacturing in preparation for an attack on the UK, even though no ricin was ever found, but the story fit so well with Blair's efforts to drag the UK into war.

The report on Blair's reign (and his amazing similarities to Bush) is well worth a read if your stomach can take it. Blair, like Bush, has no idea what democracy is. He is only interested in absolute power for himself.
