A Great Gift to Humanity

Human rights, humanity, and real democracy are, at long last, about to receive a great gift. Tony Blair is finally going to announce the date he will stand down. That day must surely be a great gift for humanity. Of course he will go leaving behind a trail of blood, death, shattered bodies, shattered lives, shattered homes and families, shattered human rights, shattered everything. Since the blood and death is so deep he will practically have to swim and climb to leave, but at least he is going. Perhaps an even greater gift would be when he is put on trial, together with George W. Bush, for his/their crimes.
