Mr. Blair, like all genuine cowards, is brave about spilling other people's blood. Blair spills only bloody words. In olden times, the king led his troops into battle to give them courage. Perhaps Mr. Blair will send a video of himself on horseback. >Mr Blair said in Chicago: "We cannot let the evil of ethnic cleansing >stand. We must not rest until it is reversed . . . If we let an evil >dictator range unchallenged we will have to spill infinitely more blood and >treasure to stop him later." > >In a sign of Britain's willingness to use ground troops, Mr Blair said: >"Milosevic will have no veto on the entry of this international force." > >The prime minister - emerging as a pivotal figure in a manner reminiscent >of Lady Thatcher's encouragement of President George Bush following Iraq's >invasion of Kuwait in 1990 - yesterday discussed the crisis by phone with >Boris Yeltsin, the Russian president. > >In a clear attempt to steel members of the Nato alliance for a long >military campaign - and a possible offensive by ground troops - Mr Blair >said: "Success is the only exit strategy I am prepared to consider." regards, Tom Walker http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/covenant.htm
