Galloway: Blair's Murder Would Be "Justified"
This man simply becomes more and more repugnant every day:
The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair.
In an interview with GQ magazine, the reporter asked him: "Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber - if there were no other casualties - be justified as revenge for the war on Iraq?"
Mr Galloway replied: "Yes, it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it - but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order to the events of 7/7. It would be entirely logical and explicable. And morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq - as Blair did."
He's not calling for it, but it would be logical and explicable? For him to even utter such words publicly is completely shocking and unimaginable. Treasonous, in fact. Back in the days of King Henry VIII, his head would have been lopped off in short order.
Even Britain's Stop the War Coalition criticized Galloway's comments.
But what else can one expect of someone who admires Castro?
Not even President Bush's harshest critics in our government have (at least publicly) said that his death at the hands of Islamic extremists would be justified. And, to my knowledge, no MSM interviewer has asked such a question. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)
Why this man is still in office is a mystery to me...but then, British politics are a mystery to me anyway. What a contemptible person.
