Gilad Atzmon: Bloody Memoir
Tony Blair, a man who launched a criminal war with no end, declared once again today that "Radical Islam is the world's greatest threat"
He made the remark in a BBC interview marking the publication of his memoirs.
Mr Blair said radical Islamists believed that whatever was done in the name of their cause was justified - including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
I can't make up my mind whether Blair's remark is amusing or tragic for not a single Islamic leader has ever used "chemical, biological or nuclear weapons". If anything it is Britain and the USA who deployed weaponry that contained depleted uranium. A recent study reveals that the Cancer rate in Fallujah, Iraq is worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Gilad Atzmon: I guess that Tony Blair's sister in law, Lauren Booth, could easily use the phone and tell Tony what she thinks of him, his politics and his new memoir. However, being a peace activist she decided also to share it with the rest of us.

Dear Tony,
Congratulations on your political memoir becoming an instant bestseller. I'm in Iran and have the only copy in the country. I can tell you, its so fiercely fought over, it's worth its weight in WMD's. Note to Random House; have 'A Journey' translated into Farsi and Arabic asap, it'll fly off the shelves in this part of the world.
Tony, yesterday I went the Al Quds day protest in Tehran. You may have heard of it? It's the rally where Iranians gather to protest against Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, including the Holy city of Jerusalem.
I'm being sarcastic by asking if you've heard of Al Quds day, because I know you have. It is after all your very worst nightmare right? It must be horrifying with the 'world view,' you express in your memoirs to watch scenes on the BBC news showing the precise meeting point of politics and Islam.
Personally I've never understood this fear of 'political Islam' it seems to me that religious people should always be educated on world events rather than kept in ignorance like say, Mid West Christian Zionists in the US who can't even find their home city on a map of their state.
