Tony Blair's visit and some embarrassing questions

Tony Blair was given a VVIP protocol during his Bangladesh visit on 20-22 August 2010. He is not the incumbent prime minister of Britain and I very much doubt his current position justifies this high profile reception. Moreover, this overenthusiastic welcome poses some questions which are embarrassing for both Sheikh Hasina and for Blair himself.

Does Tony Blair know that Sheikh Hasina's cabinet is dominated by the Lefties whose British counterparts have been demanding for his trial as a war criminal? Do the Lefties in Hasina's government know that their friends belonging to the Stop the War Coalition in Britain want to see Blair in jail and not visiting Bangladesh?

Lastly, but most importantly, while Sheikh Hasina's government has been arresting leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on charges of war crimes during Bangladesh's liberation war in 1971, she did something totally different to an obvious and internationally known war criminal.

Tony Blair is a recognised war criminal who co-authored the deaths of more than a million Iraqis and the destruction of a country that has been Bangladesh's staunchest friend, as Saddam was Mujib's. For Tony Blair's war crimes, millions of people are there as witnesses in his own country, let alone in Iraq and the rest of the world.

So Hasina should've known that she was offering lavish reception to a murderer who has been immensely benefited financially through his war credentials (please see an article by the British writer Robin Beste at http: //stopwar.org.uk/content/view/2036/27/).

This is a strange world. More perplexing is the state of affairs with Sheikh Hasina's government.
