Newscorp: "History will prove us right" ( Bliar: "History will forgive us" ( Okay, so let's assume that it will. Why? And why did Mr Bliar feel it necessary to lie to the public? Are we defending democracy by undermining democracy? Another Bliar special: "The arms the Taliban are buying today are paid for with the lives of young British people buying their drugs on British streets. That is another part of their regime that we should seek to destroy" (Tony Blair, 2-Oct 2001) HOW WILL HISTORY JUDGE THIS MR BLIAR? "Heroin surge looming POLICE whistleblower Tim Priest has warned that Sydney's heroin drought is set to end and authorities are unprepared to deal with it. Speaking before a Federal Parliamentary Inquiry into Crime in Australia, Mr Priest said that favourable climate changes and the end of the war in Afghanistan had led to heroin production increasing by 100 per cent". ( "Hundreds of kilos of heroin are being manufactured each week by factories recently set up in eastern Afghanistan, prompting fears of a new influx of high-quality, easily transportable drugs into Europe". ( "...the so-called heroin drought Australia has been in since September last year - a shortage that has also seen the number of deaths from heroin overdoses, fall dramatically. ... But in Sydney, drug counsellors are reporting that after almost a year, heroin is coming back. That's been confirmed by David Murray, from Victoria's Youth substance Abuse Service". (

"I know this is kind of late, but: Sorry" (Tony Blair, British prime minister, on the 1814 burning of Library of Congress books by British troops)

Very subtle, Mr Blair, shall we wait until 2203 for history to forgive us for the 5-fold increase in heroin coming out of Afghanistan?

I am sure it will. Heroin will probably be everywhere and pretty much free; no one will even know about stuff like history. All remaining communities will also have plenty of WMD and will use them freely in an effort to preempt attacks on themselves or whatever.

The complete library of congress will be in a storage lockers on video storage discs, but unfortunately will have largely melted.
