How come Blair hasn't stuck his oar in about the English Cricket Team going to Zimbabwe? Thousands - hundreds of thousands - of people have died there because of an immoral dictatorship.
Strangely, rather than declaring war, he's letting the cricket team claim that it would be too much a financial risk for them not to go. 'Unfair on sport'.
And the media are quoting Gatting on why the English team have to be allowed to go. This is the the man who happily let 'his' team play in South Africa at the height of apartheid when Mandela was still imprisoned.
Blowing the crap out of thousands of people and potentially starting World War Three. That's a moral choice. Stopping eleven people going to play a game - no, that would be too much hassle.
After all, there's money to be made out of them going...
