Indeed—the same way life became "difficult" for millions of Iraqis over the last decade, from invasions to sanctions, resulting in massive death, disease, and suffering.

Surely, we must hand it to Blair for his candor—he didn’t say life would become more difficult for the government and imams of Iran, but the people. Blair understands that when targeted governments defy "the international community" (by this he means the government of the United States and Britain and their "geostrategic" corporate interests, not the people of those respective countries), people will die—and lots of them.

Blair differs little from another famous Brit—Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris, who also believed you get your way by killing large numbers of innocent civilians. As Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command during World War II, Harris devised a plan specifically designed to inflict horrible death on German civilians with incendiary bombs. Harris micromanaged the bombing of Cologne and Dresden—directly targeting civilians—the latter raid one of the most barbaric acts of mass slaughter in modern history (a war crime enthusiastically supported by Churchill, a demented little man who earned his reputation gassing "niggers" in the British "colony" of Iraq during the early 1920s). So beloved was "Sir" Arthur "Bomber" Harris, he was made a baronet (a hereditary title of honor reserved for commoners) and a tributary monument was erected in central London after his death, thus demonstrating the elite of Britain have a special place in their hearts for serial murderers.

Blair is cut from the same cloth as Harris, Churchill, and the imperious British elite. Recall Blair "relished" sending troops to the hell-hole of Iraq to be traumatized, maimed, or killed (or to emerge as damaged goods to be released back into British society), according to a former Downing Street aide, Lance Price.

Of course attacking Iran is "on the table"—it never left and is in fact the only option, since Iran violated the "proper rules of behavior" (in other words, it lacks the proper complaisant attitude), rules determined by the neocons who loathe the idea of self-respecting Muslims.

UN Security Council sanctions issued by effete diplomats in fancy suits will not cut the mustard for Bush and his servile partner, poodle Blair—only a Bomber Harris response is acceptable, especially now that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for Israel’s destruction (it makes you wonder if Ahmadinejad has a microchip planted in his head and Ariel Sharon pushes a button whenever the heat needs to be turned up at the appropriate time).

If the neocons get over the Fitzgerald hurdle—and rest assured, they will—bombing campaigns are in the works for Syria and Iran, in that order.

Israel and the Zionist kitchen cabinet will demand no less.
