Blair the crusader

Hmm, looks like the PM's got it in for Muslims - in addition to the Iraquagmire, he's looking to ban a couple of moderate Muslim organisations. Which makes me think: could Blair himself be on a mission from his god - just like Dubya or bin Laden?

Look at the evidence. Faith is the reason Blair and his buddy Stateside get on so well; their political philosophies (if Dubya's approach can be called a 'philosophy') are very different. But Blair is openly religious - unusual for a British politician - and has the same sense of his own righteousness as any evangelical preacher on US TV.

Could the entire Middle East campaign have a secret agenda no different to al-Qaeda's: to provoke war between two peoples in the name of their imaginary friends? After all, it's just become obvious they're heading into Iran within three years: my guess is Blair will extend his premiership until that happens.

If this mess was about politics or economics, there'd be a chance reason might prevail. But if it's all about religion, there's no arguing with them - because religionists, inflated by religion's grandiose image of itself, will never conceive they could be wrong.
