Trump Wonders if Iraq War Architect is Acceptable for 'Gaza Peace'
Al-Monitor reports that Trump is questioning Tony Blair's suitability for a proposed Gaza 'Board of Peace,' citing his past role in the Iraq War. What Al-Monitor (and Reuters, their source) won't highlight is the grim irony: Blair, who infamously backed the 2003 Iraq invasion on fabricated grounds (an invasion that destabilized the Middle East and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths), is now
being floated as a 'peace' broker. This isn't just about Blair's 'acceptability'; it's about the continued audacity of Western powers to parachute architects of chaos into 'peace' roles. It mirrors the US's long history of intervention, then 'nation-building,' then wondering why the nations are still broken. Trump's hesitation isn't a moral epiphany; it's a strategic calculation. The mainstream
media asks if Blair is 'acceptable to everybody,' but perhaps the real question is: acceptable for what? Another charade?
