Clare Short, of Britain's Labour party, is a longtime member of Parliament
National Review, May 19, 2008
Clare Short, of Britain's Labour party, is a longtime member of Parliament. She is also a longtime leftist--but she is by no means on the lunatic fringe. There's her membership in Parliament, of course--and the fact that she served in Tony Blair's cabinet, for six years. She resigned after the start of the Iraq War.
Recently, she appeared on al-Jazeera, speaking to what must have been a very large Arab audience. And what did she say? That Blair and George Bush would one day be tried in the International Criminal Court. "There are brave lawyers who are waiting for this opportunity, which will come one day." In her Jazeera appearance, she was speaking to people many of whom are ruled by tyrannical men. Any lawyers waiting for the opportunity to try them really are brave.
