Dear Anne,
Tony Blair's actions as well as inaction regarding the Israeli attack on Lebanon was a disgrace. Allowing US planes carrying bombs to Israel so they could continue the destruction of Lebanon was shameful.
His failure to call for an immediate ceasefire was outrageous. That he claimed to be working towards a durable peace is pure charade. Immediate and durable are not mutually exclusive.
Work towards peace. A good start would be for us to stop making war and not to aid others kill civilians. Blair is a prima facie war criminal. How any rational person can think that his policies are making the UK safer is beyond me.

My first message was incomplete. The first paragraph should read,
Tony Blair's actions as well as inaction regarding the Israeli attack on Lebanon was a disgrace. Allowing US planes carrying bombs to Israel TO REFUEL IN THE UK so they could continue the destruction of Lebanon was shameful.
