And yes, many Christians were against it. Judging by Tony Blair's actions and defence of his actions, he was better connected to God than them, plain and simple. When it comes to Iraq, Blair showed that he prefered to follow his faith than reason. How convenient then to Guillaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376749604845793465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1226216199663753298.post-17161759509800504982009-05-29T14:46:22.525+01:002009-05-29T14:46:22.525+01:00I think you are going off the deep end here a bit....I think you are going off the deep end here a bit. <br /><br />I don't think anyone was suggesting that Blair was hearing voices, God's or otherwise.

Anyway, I remember watching an interview in 2007 I think, when he said that he decided to invade Iraq after speaking to God or something. That's the kind of justification a killing madman would give; "God made me do it, your Honour". Appropriate, but lame.
