Soon after he was forced out of 10 Downing Street, Tony Blair was appointed the official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East on behalf of the UN, EU, USA and Russia. So what has this envoy of peace to the Middle East, who sent troops to invade Afghanistan and Iraq achieved so far?
George Galloway, British MP, and former MP of the Labour Part said in his speech at the Perdana Global Leadership Foundation Anti-War Conference, "Not since Caligula appointed his horse as a proconsul of Rome has there been a more inappropriate appointment than Tony Blair as the peace envoy for anywhere, never mind the Middle East."
He is currently one of the candidates for the post of President of the European Union. "They are determined to make people hate the European Union, I tell you," commented Galloway in the same speech.
Can a suspected war criminal (innocent until proven guilty in an international war crimes hearing) be chosen to become a peace envoy, or to head a largely peaceful European Union?
