Sharon is attacking the West Bank and we are going to attack Saddam Hussein. It seems like madness. What&#8217;s wrong with holding Saddam down with one hand the way we have been and using all this time and effort that we&#8217;ve been using, trying to convince the international community of something they will not agree with, and rightfully so. Why couldn&#8217;t we have spent this time working with Arafat and Sharon and trying to show even handedness? We are so exposed to terrorism by doing both of these things, or ignoring one and doing the other at the same time, the decisions of the next few weeks could influence the foreseeable future in a very, very, very awful way. How much from that speech did you sort of glean that, you know, is Blair trying to take the moral high ground as he seems to be, you know, let us be the liberators of the repressed people of Iraq under him. He&#8217;s, you know, a practicing Christian. How much do you feel that you would want to challenge him on his moral stance over Iraq? I would say there&#8217;s no moral stance to be had in a preemptive strike. There is no Christian justification for attacking first. Right. As though you can see the future. There is no Christian justification for that. And in terms of taking the moral high ground, I don&#8217;t believe that integrity is selective. I think if you have the integrity to protect the oppressed, you do it wherever it happens, not wherever it happens alongside oil. And I think perception is everything. We are going to be tarred with the same brush as the American administration. And I&#8217;m proud of being British. And I&#8217;d like to stay proud of being British.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container ays-arp-elegant-layout \" id=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container-14819-69d0ab0cab530\"
