Yes, disingenuous was the wrong word but being British of course the right word is totally unprintable. I also take your point about the money these people make in 'free' capitalist societies like the US and the UK. Yes, let them do it, there's nothing we can do or say to change it anyway. They're never going to show any sort of restraint themselves and so we're stuck with it. They should have more honour and all that but I imagine I'm just singing into the wind there.
No what I really object to with Blair is that his Middle East Envoy 'job' is funded by tax payers. We pay for that million pound a year apartment in Jerusalem that he has uses once a month and we also pay for him to flap around the middle east doing nothing beyond spouting platitudes at people. I have no doubt that this current Prime Minister, Cameron, will also find some 'job' to do when he leaves another great mess for some other over ambitious rich kid to clear up in 4 years time. Where are the politicians who give a damn about their country over their own career? What has happened to them?
