Adieu Blair, adieu : Comments

By Tariq Ali, published 29/6/2007

Tony Blair’s total identification with the White House has destroyed his influence in Washington, Europe and the Middle East.

This is why those pigs - who are now being treated for their burns (think about the irony! We aren't the enemy!) after ramming expensive cars into Glasgow airport and London clubs, chose those targets.

Nightclubs, where women show flesh.

Many women who leave Islam admit they are forced to wear hijab, and angry at beautiful western women because they don't. They say it's about foreign policy but it never is.

Anyone who wants the troops out of Afghanistan is a scum who sees women as chattel. Iraq was dumb only because Arabs are so racist, tribal and bloodthirsty it could never work.

We haven't lost, you have.

Everywhere the west's armies go ends up better. Look at Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The difference between South and North Korea is obvious.

The world hates white people because white people have the best countries, and have the BEST values.

Just look at the refugee flows.

They give us a mandate to force our superior values on savage cultures.

They see magazine covers with beautiful western women, and men, not Pakistani women! They can't handle these things.

That is why Bollywood movie posters have the whitest Indians you can find!

But why hate US because of that?

The reason many see whites as more aesthetically pleasing I think is because we, being the least racist people on earth (as proved by our genetic makeup) mixed with everyone.

Cultures that marry cousins and those only from their tribe - because they are XENOPHOBES, lose out.

This is why people hate the Iraq war.

The thought of whites in power in their 'real' countries makes them angry. They love our ways yet want to hold onto their twisted scummy values.

When Saddam was captured, Arab leaders and people were furious.

Why? Look at what he did?

They don't care. The worst Arab is better than the best white.

It's all racism.

Cut it out, Benjamin, your excuse is the old worn-out one where we whites believe that our science and technology is so superior.

And certainly the non-whites should relish it, because it is so superior.

But it is no reason that we on the other hand should have relished taking their lands, and now stealing their oil as is happening in Iraq and what Dick Cheney so relishes about taking Iran?

Please get real, mate, and remind yourself that true justice is all about balance and fair play.

Anyone can be a tribune and a hero in terms of ABSTRACT justice and Tariq Ali, certainly is a hero in these terms. But what were the CONCRETE results of his abstract justice as an indefatigable and fervent supporter of the Bolshevic revolution and one of its leaders, the great and tragic figure of Leon Trotsky, who late in his life disillusioned was considering his suicide, just before Stalin's assassin plunged his ice pick into his skull? The slaughtering of thirty to fifty million of human beings, not to mention other killing fields of the Communist ideology, all in the name of this abstract justice of the revolutionaries.

It's not imprudent to bear in mind, that the way to hell is paved with good (and I would add)and historically misplaced, intentions. Tariq Ali has still to come out and say his long awaited adieu to this carnage that issued from this totalitarian ideology in which he continues to believe in as an unredeemed Trotskyist.

Themistocles. Tariq Ali has always been a person of the present. Listen to him, he makes comment on the negative policies of the here and now. That affects people today, he may be an intellectual and academic, but an extremist! Because he makes critisism too todays social unjustice, no way.

Me thinks you are living in the past mate, and avoiding to come to terms with the here and now!
