Tony Blair is a liar and a murderer - one day, he will be tried as a criminal who was responsible for supplying weapons to Tyrant rulers in Middle East AND for killing innocent men, women and children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and many other parts of globe.

If these Thugs had the power, they would have already attacked Iran... They do not have the guts or the spine..

My god you people are stupid. Go and read some of Orwell's essays, or something on international relations... Just learn something... Anything. Jesus.

People LIke Tony Blair and other Western-IZED politicians - contrary to their claims - have no respect for the lives of their people - they send people to war to create feuds and establishing blood-based hatred.

Soldiers who are attacking and people being killed are victims of propaganda, brutality, viciousness and greed by these politicians.

I have no enemies - as long as dialogue is my way and we share this value... The only common enemy we have are those who resort to violence but not to logic...

Now Tony has really lost it.
Ok he is the self apponted Peace Envoy from a ME Foundation which he set up to give him something to do in retirement, but we wish he would stop meddling because he'll ony make things worse.
But trust the Press to pick up the odd remarks he makes and blow them out of all proportion.
The only solution to the ME is One Palestine and the Regional Powers Iran Syria and Iraq, determinng their own future. And it should be a no interference area for the West.

So He's not calling for military action? Hmmm. He does have form on that though, so copious amounts of salt of to be taken there then.

Thank Christ no one pays much attention to him anymore.

"Regime change in Tehran would immediately make me significantly more optimistic about the whole of the region."

Off his chump, totally and profoundly.

I wonder if he has ever faced gunfire? I'm talking about the Great Masturbator.

Interesting theory blaming the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan on Iran. I was always under the impression that it was the US and UK that were the instigators of these conflicts.

So TB is wrong? Much better to allow the Islamofascists in Iran to carry on stoning their women to death and hanging teenage boys from cranes for being Gay. And if they acquire nuclear weapons and pass these on to terrorists who blow up Washington or London we can then just say its radicalised moslems just a bit upset about kashmir, palestine, iraq and everything else that upsets the!!! Yea right. Spineless Obama and Cameron should give the islamofascists a deadline: stop trying to develop nuclear weapons or we will bomb you.

If not for the innocent civilians then the guilt of sending "our boys and girls" ought to weigh heavy enough on his conscience for Blair to shut up. Those that support him need to put their money where their mouth is and sign up to build that car park they're so keen on. Blair and his kind's philosophy is "your with us or against us" so either have the courage to join up to fight these wars of aggression or speak up against them but dont let the spikes hurt your ass sitting somewhere in between. That's just cowardly and chickens are of no use to anyone but Colonel Sanders.

@capt-price

Genious is a bit of a stretch.

Mildly amusing at best.

The Western/NATO Intervention is about keeping STATUS QUO - by changing the dictators ... that USUALLY the West has backed or installed ... supplanting them with their democratic stooges... Pakistan is the best Example of this.

Iran is a thorn in Western side because they have challenged the Western ideas about Democracy and asserted an independent path.

West's CONCERNS about Syria are about aiding Israel than about Democracy - otherwise, the British Govt. would not be selling arms to Bahraini/Saudi Dictators - as we speak...

If Blair was so concerned about Iran why on earth did he support the invasion of Iraq, which has increased Iran's influence in the region considerably.

Gibberish - Blair isn't advocating war. He's explicit about that. Regime change in Iran and Syria would be a good thing - no? Authoriarian regime that murders civilians and executes women for driving, or a democratic one?

This is just another excuse to do some Blair baiting. It's easy to rail against war and intervention when your families aren't being tortured and shot.

the Israelis must be laughing behind the peace envoy's back, with glee that they've got a more than half-mad, megalomaniac who's on their side, this time. He'll do and say anything they want, and remain deluded that he is a great 'statesman'; like some of the posters here, who are equally deluded to think in their limited world-view that 'we', in our self importance and sad impotence have the power, and even the right to change any regimes which displease 'us'. An antidote to this ignorance might be to read John Gray's article in this NS.

Why do the islamists and their supporters think that 200,000 Iranians have fled Islamo-fascist Iran and entered the UK as political refugees? Why have over 3 million fled to the US and Canada? Ahmadenejad's fascist regime has no right to exist.

The stalwart Defenders of Tony are missing the point. Its not a new, open regime in Tehran we object to - its hearing this coming out of the mouth of Tony Blair, noted warmonger and crass charlatan. When warmongers (Blair, Bush, Cameron, etc) gurgle on about regime change, you know that this is code for trashing a country and plundering its assets. Got it?
