Iraq, and responsibility

In his latest column for the New Statesman, Mehdi Hassan argues that we can’t only blame Tony Blair for the Iraq war, which has led to the death of a million people, and four million more being forced from their homes. We also have to pin responsibility on the much wider circle of people who supported the war – including those in the media, like me, who he mentions by name.

You can book tickets here.

Do you want to do something quick and practical to help the people of Burma?

For just £10 – which you can pay by text message, now – you can buy a radio that Amnesty International will smuggle into the country.
