Dear editor,

I am appalled with the British governments continuing complicity with the US foreign policy. The ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are counter productive and threaten ‘lasting global stability’. Further to New Labours refusal to withdraw the troops the British Government is now supporting a new war on a new front in Gaza and Lebanon, Tony Bair is also threatening Iran and Syria. It is a disgrace that our elected representatives, from local councillors to our MP, are not reflecting the mass of public opinion in condoning Blair’s chauvinism toward George Bush and US capitalism and his appetite for state terrorism. British political society must not turn the other cheek. Their failure to oust him for previous war crimes has led to his perpetual re offending. All of those who do not speak out against him must burden responsibility. Blair must go now!
