They don't take the responsibility for their actions, but rather blame it on Muslims, multiculturism. They justify their actions in the name of peace, while they are clearly the ones waging a war, spending billions on nuclear weapons.
They blamed Saddam Hussein for the death of hundreds, while they never talk about the consequences of their deeds in Iraq, or even Afghanistan.
These were the voices I heard from about 60,000 protestors, who flocked at Trafalgar Square on February 24 to protest for Stop the War. A place that usually attracts thousands of tourists everyday was filled with anti-war sentiment - calling for a peaceful world.
Despite strong opposition from the public, Tony Blair has sent more troops to Afghanistan. Britain has recently announced their plans send more than 1,000 troops in the country.
The UK prime minister will soon unveil a plan in the next week budget to fund the new reinforcements to Iraq and Afghanistan by perhaps cutting spending in more needed areas like education and health. The BBC earlier reported that between £15bn and £20bn would be spent on new submarines to carry the Trident missiles, despite a large rebellion from within the Labour party.
Democracy has failed most Britons as their voices remain muted. We elect a Prime Minister in a hope that things would change for better, but what really changes is the degree of betrayal, and nothing else.
The government is in denial of its failures, its deeds and its consequences in this world. They blame Muslims and multiculturism when they themselves are the real war mongers and criminals.
