Thank yous owed to Tony Blair 12Aug06

Dear Prime Minster,

Many Congratulations on your recent success in securing a UN resolution to bring about a cease fire in the Middle East. A cease fire which brings about a status quo is an important step forward in the peace process and I wonder if you will be demanding any Thank You notes from the Heads of state of Israel or Lebanon? I know that it is not a very British thing to do, but dammit, you put your public credibility on the line to bring about Peace and the least you deserve is a little credit. To that end I have drafted a couple of letters which you could ask your Ambassadors to go and get signed for you:-

1.

Dear Prime Minister Blair,

On behalf of the Israeli people I wish to thank you for your tireless and unwavering support of the State of Israel’s right to kill its neighbours in Self Defence, whilst they sleep in their beds. No other Western Head of State (apart from those we already own via AIPAC) had the moral courage to stand up and watch his Domestic and International credibility disappear whilst refusing to condemn the IDF’s destruction of Lebanon, its Women and Children and any prospect of Peace in the region in our lifetime. Israel owes you a huge debt of thanks.

Shalom,

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Dear Prime Minister Blair,

On behalf of the Lebanese People, may I be permitted to express my heart felt gratitude for your fearless and courageous efforts to ensure that the Human Rights of the Lebanese people were defended during the current conflict. Had you not stood firm and insisted that Israel must be permitted to destroy Lebanon in order to defeat terrorism who knows, much of the Lebanese infrastructure, painstakingly rebuilt after the LAST time Israel destroyed it, would still be standing, over a thousand civilians would still be attached to their limbs and their lives and that is just what the terrorists wanted. It would have been a victory for terrorism. Thank the Lord and Allah that you could see through Hezbollah’s plan that you could see that Israel’s actions were just and merciful and that a lasting peace would prevail. Now that the Israeli’s are victorious we can look forward to a lasting and just peace. I can only reiterate how grateful the Lebanese people are that you refused steadfastly to call for an immediate cease-fire, or a halt to the massive civilian casualties inflicted by the IDF, until a UN resolution to be enforced by the same UNFIL troops who are routinely humiliated by Israel could be arranged.

Thanks once again,

Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.

Don’t be shy Mr. Blair, you have earned these commendations – get your civil service out there to get them signed!

Yours faithfully,


AJ Bladderwait.
