Tony Blair may stop to explain himself to the writer below if he feels like it and if he had a good breakfast and on the basis that the writer is a citizen of the world. He might even be humble and contrite.
But any notion that Tony Blair should be embarassed about anything when facing the Prime Minister of Bangladesh is a joke of course. What does he care what the Prime Minister of Bagladesh thinks? First he would have to take Bangladesh seriously and then he would have to take the Foreign Minister seriously and then he would have to take the Prime Minister seriously. As a clever man Tony would not waste a minute with such thoughts.
Bangladesh. Where the UK's ambassador gets a grenade. Where the UK has to invest in preventing forced marriages. Where he could beat the combined talents of the foreign minister, prime minister and cabinet ministers on almost any international subject - all by himself. AMA Muhith could give him a run for his money but our finance minister would be hamstrung by his fellow cabinet members. Bangladesh - where many marched in support of Saddam!
And the writer expects the Prime Minister should be embarassed? On what basis? The Prime Minister turns a blind eye to MURDER, MAYHEM and EXTORTION in her own country by her own party but she is rather indignant about Iraq?!
Man. Tony Blair will get VVIP treatment in Desh until his death and then his son will also get VIP treatment.
After all in Bangladesh we really know how to appreciate the families of politicians!
