Holy Mess...

Tony Blair in an recent TV interview claimed that it was the hand of God that propelled him into attacking Iraq and overthrowing Saddam. Apparently, conscience and God's will convinced him the he had to put an end to the tyranny in Iraq and free the people of the country.

One wonders where his conscience and God's will disappears when it comes to intervening in Sudan or Palestine or stepping in to overthrow other dictators and oppressors worldwide. Or maybe Iraq is God's favorite or maybe God likes trading in Oil too, that's why he gave his special consent to Blair. If it is God's will indeed, then what is the difference between a Jihad and this invasion, after all a Jihad is launched in God's name and supposedly with God's consent too.

This statement of Blair has drawn a lot of flak from all quarters in Britain, especially from the families of soldiers who have been personally affected by the war. The funniest comment in this whole issue came from an atheist who said he was inclined to believe Mr. Blair because no man alone could have created such a big mess as Iraq "without a little divine help!"..:-)
