The democracy being practiced in the so called largest democracy is in fact demonocracy being prostituted by ugly ,dirty ruthless eviliticians for their personal advancement .They rightly and symbolically follow the fraudulent,megalomaniac self righteous false saint politician who brought death and misery to millions of poor ,innocent peiople of all religions in a clandestine manner unlike the direct violent acts of Stalin,Hitler,Mao,The results of all these 3 plus 1 were the same.A fruit is known by its seed.Did Nanak, Budha Vivekananda produce results of death .No, they were truly truthful and nonviolent and not self proclaiming sole custodians of truth and nonviolence as propounded by self styled cheat who was only interested in getting a Noble Prize.Just look back he did nothing like Mother Teresa for the poor.A clever thug and man of intense irresponsible behaviour ,who destroyed for ever the great Indian traditions and was in fact a person who helped the British rule by three decades by helping them remain in power for his personal nongovernmental power and autocratic behavior.He also stole the true freedom struggle from true patriots like Subhash Bose by evicting him from the scene and conveniently went to jail when he started getting probably less coverage in Radio and Newspapers because of second world war.Lord Wavell the die hard honest and truthful Viceroy understood him too well.Sooner this cheat ,fraud and disruptive fellow who destroyed the lives of millions of students ,farmers and poor by his strange crude and hypocritical conduct better it would for this nation to get rid of his evil shadow and better future. He preached deadly remedies to those who were ill but himself hypocritically got operated for Appendicitis ,this shows him in his true color.This fellow got British troops evicted from India ,but when the riots broke out ,demanded why they were not used in times when they were required.A false leader and fraudulent Saint.Faster exposed better it would be.The guiding light for todays eviliticians ,,,on right track, on the path of great fraud of history helped by an equally mad
adversary who could openly call for spillage of human innocent blood but with no pretensions and hypocracy.The pre independent freedom struggle was a struggle to capture and enslave the innocent people for personal reasons in the name of fighting for their people .Both of you should have atleast learned lessons from truly religios people like mature Vivekananda and Maulanas,who always guided people in constructive and positive manner to become good and free unlike in negative values of harmful movements all starting with Non cooperation ,false nonviolence,trying to overshadow,eliminate and neutalise the influence of great Indian Saints ,Sufis,true Swamis.The new democratic India is on right path of Hartals,strikes,corruption,cheating,hypocracy,mass illetracy.Had we had leaders like Vivekananda,Subhash and even loving princes to guide our destiny ,the fate of subcontinent would have been different.

The politicians read as eviliticians the world over have cheated the people by votes for their personal advancement and greed.They have brought violence ,bad governance,mistrust,conflicts,wars,misery,disorder,corruption all over contrary to the teachings of noble people.But this is the price the people have to pay for their illitercay,ignorance and bad constitutions and above all fake and sham unrealistic democratic fraud.The true democracy means involvement of the masses in the day to day affairs with the governance as a tool for the welfare of the people.The eviliticians have beaten the prostitues hollow in cornering the title of selling of their souls and mind in return for inflicting injury to masses.What was the need to steal the documents for enslaving people when enough written glorious documents were available back home .One only had to read Kautilya ,s Arthshastra or even the rules of administration followed by Princely states in their domains.The glory and love which the princes in India gave to their subjects with ever attending officials can never be matched by ugly eviliticians in next several births.They are only too good in accumulating illegimate wealth and spreading dirt and garbage in all nooks and corner of the country .Democracy can only be successful in an enlightened ,educated societies which will never come up till the eviliticians are on stage.

Pakistan has been borne out of an intolerant philosophy which doesnot permit existence of nonbelievers ,hence they resorted to violence by so called declaration of Direct Action against non muslims with an impression that the violence which they would initiate will not be responded,but to their surprise it came matchingly.The fate of all violent creeds heads towards the dustbin of history as a natural consequence rather than by compulsion from extreneous influences sooner than later.

From Surender.

The partition of India in 1947 was a forgone conclusion.It was to happen because of inability of the intolerant religion forced upon Indians by invaders ,who brought here open bloodbath and intrepid sanguinary on the people of India by forced and lured conversions. The partition was not a mistake but good otherwise , India would have met with continued terrorism till future times to come.When muslims demanded and got Pakistan it was logical and just for them to have gone to the promised paradise land,why did they stay back, only to be on the neck of non muslims of India.Till the time they continue to stay in this land ,Kashmir cannot be handed over to Pakistan.It is true that vast number of Brahmins refused to convert to Islam and chose death, that is the reason Pakistanis who them selves are converts to Islam never tire in abusing and cursing Brahmins for not letting Islam spread in India.Brahmins never picked up arms but a branch of Rajputs who originated from nonfighting Brahmin clans did match violence of ruthless ungrateful invaders with valinat spirit.Had Islam not arrived in India at all or had it come like the Budhism spread ,there would have been no need for partiton of India.The subcontinent would have been the force to reckon with in world.Pakistan is an instrument of negativisim,terror,violence,instability and as a natural outcome of a mind set steeped in fanaticism and ungratefulness to its rich parenthood and ancestory.

The whole thing was equally spoiled by fanatic caste ridden exploitative ,inhuman unkind behaviour of Hindu higher castes who treated poor lower caste fellow creatures with contempt and hate.The price paid for this behaviour was the conversion into diffrent religions by numeruous poor forgotten masses.So far the best conduct in Indian scenerio was shown either by Budhist philosophy or Christian missionaries.Evangelisation of India will finish the problem of caste ,discrimination and jehadi miscnduct of Pakistan within a period of a couple of years.Pakistan will exist till Hinduism survives.The day India becomes liberal secular Christian state ,the world would decidedly become a peaceful world and the jehad violence and Pakistan will have to follow the line or remain as peaceful as any client and pliant state iof Middle-East.

Pakistanis in their homes never tire cursing and abusing Hindus and Hinduism, whereas no Hindu ever condemns or criticises Islam or Muslims.There are millions of Muslims who have made good in India but in Pakistan except for one MK Bhandara no Hindu can ever expect to rise or get justice.Hindus in Pakistan are despised and tormented and hated to extent that they even shy away naming their kids with Hindu names.Many even donot disclose their identities.One has to agree that a faith to a large extent depends uopn the way it originated.Hinduism means ancient Dharma which means peace ,gratefulness to nature in its pristine glory ,respect and worship of all that nature and God created ,duty and respects to all the noble souls which existed., and above all thankfulness to animate and inanimate matter which created this Universe.Violent creeds will never reach that pristine glory in this world or even in so called paradise.Dharma means love ,truth,tolerance,good of all creatures,prayer for wellbeing of all.Pakistan will have to revert back to past history to achieve this because future of a state borne out of violence of direct action will be as good as that of Hitlerian reich whom they adore so much.

American intervention in Iraq was uncalled for.They should have rather concentarted on Saddam,Pakistan and Taliban whole heartedly with the support of India and world till end.The terrorism can never be controlled till Pakistan is brought to size and Saudis dissuaded to stop financing the terror.It requires money to organise violence .

Long ago, I stopped reading any thing Tony Blair says. He is a liar and one of the most dishonest but articulate politicians alive in the Western world. By the way, M. J. Akbar is one of finest journalists of modern India. Calling him Islamist is like calling Walter Cronkite a Christian anchorman

Anonymous, Your assured a place among 72 houris or do you prefer the "pearls" there? Enjoy yourself.

I rest my case! I proved my point, beyond any reasonable doubt, about the mental state of Mr. V.

Till Narasimha killed Hiranyakasipu his subjects praised him so did Ravana's subjects as also Kamsa's. Agreed it is quite rare for normal human beings to identify evil since they carried away by what they see or hear never can they judge for themselves. Even in the case of Indian independence very few people fought for it the rest were lethargic and actually supported the British they in fact infiltrated (like Nehru grandson of Ghiasuddin Ghazi) the Congress and totally changed the direction of the movement from the path shown by great fighters like Savarkar, Thilak, Khudiram Bhose. Today those who sided with the British, esp the communists talk as if they are the ones who got India freedom. Who can forget how they side with the Chinese even now. The media is filled with their sympathisers and the general public fall their lies.

The leftover Muslims backed Nehru because of his grandfather and the British sided with him since they were sure of Lady Mountbatten's hold. We all know that Sonia Gandhi is the Vatican's answer to the Church of England!

History tells us all movements begin with a trickle of followers who have the capability to read between the lines and identified the enemy within. The enemy within are certainly the cultists of both hues and we see them coming out of the woodwork once their fond hope Raul's escapades are announced. Watch my prediction he and his mother would make a deal and he will announce his 'renunciation' from politics to escape the rape charges. The stupid opposition will also allow him instead of tightening the noose around the "dynasty's" neck. India's woes are mainly due to the pronged evil- Muslims, Christians and Commies and each would be found out and discarded. Thankfully we have Pagy Mohd himself saying his cult would last only 1400 years (we will only this statement to be true); Malaichi's prediction that the present Pope is the last but one and as they say they'll become History and it would take another 1000 years for another Hiranyakasipu's clone to come along- the world would soon become normal.

Venkat,
You writing shows the level of your intellect. You are severly challenged in that catogory. Your mental state speaks volumes. Very few of you country men share you idealogy. Your fellow ideologues killed great human M. Gandhi, is this the value of your beliefs?

For once the the hijda's government is very fast they have already blocked the proxy server ninja.

Center for Global Studies:
Since that is how you spell Centre, would it be safe to assume that you get loads of Federal aid? What are you scared of? That the Bush administration will cut it off unless you tow the nihilist Iraq line? Are they funding your next all-expenses-paid trip to Titicaca?

Walter:
Like most Americans who know nothing outside of what Fox News pounds on them, wordplays are lost on you.

Venkat:
Just like the Commies would see a foreign (CIA) hand in everything they looked at, you and your lot see the M shadow hovering around everything. And since you very proudly say that the only M you like is a dead one, it speaks volumes for your state of mind -- you are just as bad as the Islamofascists are. You deserve each other. Go and hack each other, let others live in peace. But then why should you? You still are far away from making India a Hindu state. LOL. Boy,. you are a sordid joke on yourself. You need to try harder, you know. Meanwhile, you can call me names. I know, you are incapable of anything else.

The digression from MJ's comments is needless. The point is Bush lied; Blair like a faithful serf lied too; and now they are all furious because the so-called liberal media in their own countries are now nailing their lies. The least Blair can do, since he on his way out, is call people names.

Fpor the benefit of Indians who can't read from the UPA Govt. banned website.

Quote "On 3rd December 2006, Rahul Gandhi was camping at Amethi along with 7 others including 4 foreigners (two from Britain and other two from Italy, names not known). (Rape victim Sukanya Devi ADDRESS 23-12 Medical Choke Sanjay Gandhi Marg, Amethi, Raebareli, UP, INDIA)
Around 9 P.M all of them were drinking liquor at a
V.I.P. guest house in a high security zone. They had an uninvited guest, a young girl named Sukanya Devi, 24 years of age, a staunch follower of Nehru-Gandhi family and daughter of Congress worker Balram Singh. Sukanya was looking for an opportunity to meet Rahul Gandhi since last two years and on that fateful night she able to meet him. Sukanya's family has been supporting the Congress party since the time of Nehru. When she met Rahul he spoke to her for a couple of minutes and later he and his friends offered here liquor. Sukanya was amazed seeing all this, she was not feeling comfortable, she refused to have liquor and took permission to leave, but she was forced to stay back and drink. She kept resisting, but they raped her one by one. She cried for help, but her cries fell on deaf ears. Even the security personnel preferred to remain as mute spectators. She kept weeping all along and was threatened and asked to keep her mouth shut. She was given Rs.50,000 /-. She straightaway went to the local police station. The police refused to book any complaint and asked her to go home. Before she could reach home, Congress workers had gathered at her house and gave a different version of the incident to her father. They accused her of trying to seduce Rahul Gandhi. Her father Balram Singh, without giving her a chance to explain what had happened to her beat her up mercilessly. Mr.Balram Singh learnt the facts from others who were witness to the crime, but he preferred to remain quite as he did not want to challenge Mr.Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party. Sukanya's mother Sumitra Devi, who learnt about the whole incident immediately went with her daughter to Police HQ in Amethi. The Police officials refused to book any complaint and advised her to remain quite. She went from pillar to post pleading for justice, but no one heard her pleas. Sumithra Devi gave a statement
in a press conference with a very thin attendance
and there she was confronted by Congressmen who physically assaulted both mother & daughter. On 27th December 2006 Sumithra Devi went to
New Delhi to meet Sonia Gandhi. Sonia refused to meet her. With no options left she went to Human Rights Commission who just noted down her complaint and asked her to leave. The Congressmen have threatened to kill both Sumithra Devi and her daughter Sukanya if she makes the rape
issue public. Both the mother and daughter are in despair trying to seek justice. Both mother and daughter were camping in New Delhi for over a fortnight to get an appointment with the President of India. They have not got an
appointment either with the President or with the Chief Justice." Unquote

Oh God, this is astounding news, thanks Venkat for the link: Why are the opposition in India quiet? whom are they afraid off. Can't they use this information to withdraw the citizenship of Sonia Gandhi?

Will the world rise up to the plight of a rape victim? Please read and activate all the women NGO's, Human Right organizations since the Indian print and visual media are hand in glove with the accused. Don't be surprised if the victim and her mother are killed.

Please read http://www.hinduunity.org/articles/rahulgandhirape.pdf. also sign the online petition at

Oh purveyor of truth, why is none of you macoolies of Indian print and visual media bringing out an investigative report on Rahul Ghandy and his pale skinned friends escapades earlier this year in UP with an unwilling Sukhanya Devi whose father is already presumed dead.

Hinduunity org reported that "Latest New Feb 7th 2007: The Intelligence Bureau today conducted 'OPERATION BANGLA' in Amethi. They have detained 15 people in the Rahul Gandhi rape cape. We fear for the lives of these people as the Operation Bangla is made up of goons and thugs from the Congress Govt of India. A perfect example of Sonia's Government Intimidation Brigade to kill the truth! Source: Anonymous New Delhi Journalist...."

Stop talking of Blair and get back to reporting the truth back home you slimy conman.

Excellent piece, Mr. Akbar! ...

Media: Feral Beasts! Wow ... sounds really wild!

Perhaps, Bush and Bliar would know better what it feels like being after WMDs: Wandering Mad in Desert!

you are right sir.mr blair represents the group of newcon of europe with his friend mr bush of america.both of them wanted to play with media on thier own will.and when meida questioned their credibility then they show their real faces.imagine how these two lied to destroy the world peace like mossulini and hitler.?they wanted that media support them on every issues,that is not possible in globalisation and in competetion.
so,donot worry about their comments .they are dying man of politics and like a dying man they will act and talk sensless.

None- the only ones I love are the dead ones. Anonymous, The medium has to have some sense of impartiality to pass judgements. When his motive is driven by a mad book that glorifies plunder, loot, rape and genocide. His criticism of Blair is just because Blair is in an Islamic country giving them doses of their own medicine they have been freely prescribing for others 1375 years. Iraq for starters the rest to soon follow. The Cult vs cult war are in a path of destroying each other. Goodriddance, the sooner they do this to each other the better it is for the world. This is what we call divine or nature's retribution.

High on Coolaid in Co. More likely recent "move-in" from Utah.
Most of them sound like that all the time. Check-out M.Romney
for ducking the truth. Doesn't believe in Poligamy? ----well only later. Next life in order to go to heaven (Celestial Kingdom) you must have multiple wives. 132nd Chap. "Doctrine and Covenents"
is still part of his belief system i.e. Morman. (Like waiting for the 72 virgins thing) The Mormans and Mit will do anything to get in the OVAL OFFICE.....that 'church" will do ,say,pay anything!!! They will double the current WAR CHEST or triple it. Never any audit.
If it only takes Money he's IN. Be very afraid!

Venkat

Is there a Muslim you like ?

Some morons are missing the points! They are trying to kill the messenger in order to kill the message. Akbar is not the point of discussion here stupid! Tony Bliar is.

Politicians are notorious for lying and being unprincipled. They twist things around and stick by their lies even when no one is convinced or fooled by them.

Abe Lincoln should have said: You can fool all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Nevertheless, if you can fool enough of the people at anyone time you can survive to tell one lie after another.

Down Under, "feral" is in common usage. It signifies a dirty, uncouth street person. If an Aussie calls you that (pronounced "FAIR-ull") punch them in the face.

That said, I'd rather have a feral media than the lap-dog media that sucked Tony's teats unquestioningly when he was lactating Bush's lies. You fondle the poodle until it nips your nipple, dontcha, B-liar?

This "beast" fortunately admits he is one. Beast that he is proclaims himself aptly secular back home. How can a practising Muslim ever be secular unless he turns apostate? Will Osama laden please note this guy has turned apostate and issue suitable fatwas through his agent Bukhari, IUML, MIM or from the Deoband seminary (for terrorists).

Let's forget the politicians the world knows what they are since their activities are in the public domain. We'll turn to the tribe called journalists. The Indian English print and visual ones are parasites, they are aptly called Macoolies:
...coo·lie
Pronunciation: 'kü-lE
Function: noun
Etymology: Hindi kulI
Date: 1638
: an unskilled laborer or porter usually in or from the Far East hired for low or subsistence wages

Therefore, a coolie is one who carries another's burden, a porter. A Macoolie carries Lord Macaulay's burden only, not that of anyone else, and tries to civilize his pagan neighbours as the great Lord planned. The title "Lord" given to the Macoolie signifies that the fellow in question is accepted as a loyal coolie by Macaulay and elevated to the British peerage. Better not use the term coolies for such people and insult hardworking, inoffensive fellow Indians......"

These Macoolies most of whom show a red bottomline to the Income Tax department still manage a lavish life-style thanks to the munificience of the likes Of Antonia maino, the Vatican, saudi arabia and most importantly Dawood Ibrahim, Interpol's most wanted criminal. Please remove such panelists.

Ouch.........hard to get comfy after that drilling. My only criticism is this: there is a certain word (dictionary not withstanding) beginning with the letter "f" and rhyming with clucking that adds emphasis when inserted in the sentence "Tony Blair is a liar". Guess where it goes?

King Tony is just ready to head to the US to make his millions. The UK was never big enough for his appetite-hence he hitched himself to Bush's star-tarnished as that falling star is, King Tony has ridden it topotential millions in the US, where he will be a god to some Republican faithful.

His lapdog performance for Bush was a set up to make millions as a right wing think-tanker here in America. I bethe is buying a condo in Birckell, Miami, as we speak. How's the ocean-view, Counselor?

I care a hang what Blair said about journalists, even if I am a journalist myself. I do care that those that tried to mislead the public about Iraq be held accountable. But even "the public" must be held responsible for not doing its homework and instead looking for where to point the finger.
I, as a journalist, hold myself doubly responsible today in that sense. I should have spoken out more fervently, not just to my friends and acquaintances and relatives.

For instance, even as I knew with certainty that threatening Saddam or waging war on Iraq was not the way to go, and that Saddam was not a threat to the world even if he had WMDs, I didn't think I was important enough to be listened to by anyone, that my voice meant nothing when there were heavy-weights all around. I should have spoken out. So please remember, everyone that did not speak out in America is culpable, and those that actually supported the war, even more culpable.

I immensely admire all those journalists that are in Iraq and other parts of the world and taking risks to inform us of the state of things. Just as I admire the courage and perhaps the naivete of those that are there to fight the war that shouldn't have been.

I cannot help but ask myself if all this callousness is because very few if any policy-maker has a child on the frontlines.

Never Flout the Eclati in You!

Walter - typical example of an ignorant and unimaginative American! "Oxbridge" is the term referred to the two prestigious, but elitist, universities of England - Oxford and Cambridge.

Where are the Edward R. Murrows and Walter Cronkites of this generation? Dan Rather is about the closest we have these days.

Instead we are tortured with inane fools like Hannity/O'Reilly/Limbaugh et al, complete jokes, every one of them.

Clap, clap,clap, clap

Bravo!

Counterfeit rhetoric that flouishs when passions are synthetic.

Scattered rains gave way to drenching gales and then to spectacular and finally lethal hurricanes.I absolutely bet the ranting Blair know what it means exactly .

Mr. Akbar's work should be translated into English by someone who is familiar enough with Britain to know that there is no "Oxbridge" University. Tony Blair was educated at Oxford University!

Mr. Akbar's response to Mr. Blair's comment is predictable and fails to examine the Blair comment objectively as a quality journalist would.

Journalists as a whole believe they themselves are above reproach. Their never ending "search for the truth" which many journalists who are unsuccessful at finding it, or where the truth is not what they hoped it would be, forces them instead to engage in scandalous sensationalism or plagiarism i.e. Dan Rather, Katie Couric, and the other Blair--Jayson, to name a few, has the effect of "creating" the truth around the story. In todays investigative journalistic approach, deductive reasoning is the norm and the ends justify the means.

So before Mr. Akbar praises journalists as the only answer to keeping the government honest, I say clean out your own house first.

If the common man could do nothing then, when they lied, and can do nothing now, when their lies have been exposed, then what kind of democracy are we living in ?

How rich that a corrupt known-for-his-lechery journalist should write a retort to the corrupt (though not lecherous--I'll give him that much) Blair. Peas in a pod I say.

"Center for Global Studies", what are you afraid of?, losing your preciated federal funding?, what do you exactly do besides jetsetting everywhere?

Blair and Bush should be taken to the International Crime Tribunal for murdering more than 600,000 innocent Iraqis for no valid reason.
Both of them had lied to their own people and to the whole world.

MJ Akbar is absolutely correct! Journalists are in short supply. Those passing themselves off as reporters, the news media that encourage fluff, and TV commentators who present dumbed down information, are plentiful. The ability to depend on the press or TV news programs for well written, thoroughly documented information has been absent for years. With few exceptions, the news has become entertainment, at a time when we desperately need responsible journalism.

Exactly Right MJ.
How dare the major news media go after the truth re: politicians complacency in creating a second 'Vietnam' for the US and the UK. What gives the well coiffed and effett snob types the right to to demand answers instead of platetudes and foggy obesfication? Why can't the public just accept that Big Brother and Poodle-do know whats best for them. And don't they know that the sacrifice the Supreme Leader is asking their husbands, sons and daughters to make on the battle field is for a 'Higher Cause', even though no one really is able to identify convenvincingly just what this higer cause entails and what all the sacrifice will mean in the end?
Sorry Tony! You blew your place in history as a great Labor leader and the man who rescued GB from a perpetual Thatcherite nightmare of Class warfare and permante second tier status amoung the Europeans. And instead you settled for Tony the(paper)Tiger, Atilla the Bush's lap dog and Blood hound....Now accept your fate with enough grace not to blame it on others or the media and stop with the: You were 'Simply misunderstood' malarky........

Blair is right. The prime directive of the current media is find dirt. Think that only a righ leaning person would say this, read Bill Bradley's book "Time Present, Time Past." In it he details the complete break down of the press' opinion of itself since Watergate. Watch dog no more; attack dog.

What a hyperbolic, unsubstantiated attack. I've had MJ Akbar's biography of Nehru sitting around for a while, and now I feel less inclined than ever to read it.

To look at a number of online dictionaries, try www.OneLook.com for a metasearch engine. There are 22 General Dictionary hits for "feral", 3 for Medicine, 3 for Science, and others.

I don't think that Blair intentionally lied, but I do believe he was misled by the U.S. administration, who wanted war. Something to point the finger when the economy tanked. I was suprised anyone *wanted* to be elected in 2000. Everyone knew we were going to have a "correction".

I'm just sorry we can't get rid of Bush as quickly as Blair is leaving.

It's so sad that readers have left the object and went after the shadow by dragging Islam into M.J.Akbar's wonderful write-up. MJ is one of the most respected Indian journalist, who prefers to keep his faith entirely within the four walls of his prayer room. He had voiced his protest against Osama's Jihad culture that has totally distorted Islam. Islam has nothing to do with terrorism as the word Islam means 'peace'. The name Blair was intentionaly mis-spelt as BLIAR by both Times and its commentator Mathew Parris. Blair deserves to be called the Big Liar. Remember the ampule he produced in the British parliament, frightening the lawmakers that just the ampule-full of Saddam's deadly chemical was enough to wipe out the whole of London. If this is not an act of deciet, then what is it to be called? MJ Akbar is cent per cent right. When u want to kill the dog, shoot it straight; don't simply blame that it was mad. The world needs moderate Islamic voices like that of MJ's to counterweigh Osama's jihaddism. Such voices should be encouraged to become a roar; not to be muffled.

I don't know which is more ironically humorous, Akbar's retort, or Redrum's addenda. They both rank highly.

But there is a bit more nuance to Blair's utterance than appears at first glance. I read him to be using feral to imply "disloyal" rather than semi-wild or irredeemably untame. In this sense, the word is more closely associated with "faithful" (belief in a proposition despite lack of objective corresponding evidence) or "fealty" (as in the obligation of a vassal to a lord).

The media's refusal to bow to Blair's nobless oblige demonstrated their lack of fealty, and they proved their unfaithfulness by pointing out the obvious fact of arrogant occupation masquerading as a freedom suit.

It is totally dishonest and stupendously retarded for ANY "thinking" person to keep perpetuating the FALSE belief that America's intellectually mediocre President George Bush had arrived, by an accident of some magnitude, at the SAME conclusion that the highly educated, highly literary, highly intellectualized Tony Blair of England, THROUGH INTELLECTUAL ARDUOUSNESS, did...

And what's that?:

THAT INVADING IRAQ WAS MORALLY COURAGE, ETHICALLY SOUND, POLITICALLY RIGHTEOUS, and MILITARILY CORRECT --- for America and England (and the "coalition of the willing) to do...

...Even if the following are true:

(1) the majority of Americans are against it;
(2) the overwhelming majority of Brits are against it; and
(3) the absolutely overwhelmingly majority of the world are not only against it but ARE ALSO of the BELIEF that Bush and Blair are behaving like their colonial ancestors did in the 18th and 19th centuries and, therefore, are MORE dangerous to the world as a whole than Saddam or Osama....

I mean.... Is it POSSIBLE, that Tony Blair ain't the brain people keep crediting him with, on the one hand..... Or that George Bush is, in ACTUALITY, the intellectual equivalent of Tony Blair, on the other hand....?

Come on, folks, 'tis ain't nowhere near the complexity of a lower division introductory to quantum mechanics! Why do you all keep perpetuating nonsensical beliefs like that?

M. J. Akbar is one of India's finest journalists, and he is firmly committed to a secular India, as well as to moderate and progressive Islam. People should read his books before calling him an "Islamist," which is utter nonsense. Just because someone has a Muslim name doesn't mean that they should be ridiculed for that as hate-filled Islamists. As for Tony Balir's outburst against the media, is it any coincidence that his greatest grudge is with The Independent? I'd like to throw Tony Blair into a cage containing Bob Fisk, and have Fisk, the once-feral beast, tear him to shreds, kinda like a Roman circus. History will judge Tony Blair to be a miserable and corrupt failure.

Excellent Article.
But obviously Mr. Akbar does not "Google" words they want to know more about :)

what a caring and humanitarian thing to do. sell 100 tornado fighter jets to country that has produced the highest number of al-qaeda linked terrorists, including the 911 hijackers. then turn on the media when this type of underhanded dealing surfaces. why not just provide a direct line of credit to the wahhabists and "keep it simple bloke?" whatever price humanity has to pay for the black gold of the middle east, right? it gives nothing less than a warm fuzzy feeling to see blair and bush going down in flames as a team. all the lies and deflections serving as the fuel to light the funeral pyres beneath their absolute and total dishonesty. as we type today their foreign policy continues to cruble in iraq, lebanon, and gaza. and the suffering of mankind continues unabated in iraq and afghanistan. bombs explode in somalia, algeria and kenya while milloins are dying other parts of africa. did the two of them really believe that dominating the worlds energy reserves could ever actually work? if they were to say yes, that would be feral indeed.

With regard to Mr. Blair being "Liar", agree on Mr. Blair might have been misguided on Iraq, he might have got poor intelligence input, but calling him liar does not makes sense. Top official in any democratic country relies heavily of intelligence, such decisions are not made on public mood. Also don't think Mr. Akbar is an islamist but neither he represent India as well.Writing India with his name may convey wrong message.(FYI, according to one survey at the time of Iraq war, Mr. Bush was most popular in Poland and India.)
