What the devil are you waffling on about?

Hitchens supported the war in Iraq which was based on lies and after sanctions had already killed countless children. You yourself support the monarchy which is itself is a system of tyranny that built its wealth on abuse, theft, and murder. You do not have the right to get snooty about what is right and wrong and condemn Galloway when you support systems of repression and history built upon bloodshed.

When it comes to the middle east Galloway is typically correct in his analysis. I happen to think Assad is the best of a bad bunch when it comes to Syria. There wouldn't be a civil war on the scale that there is if the Al Qaeda rebels were not flowing from borders beyond including those of Britain. However, in saying that Assad was despicable for killing his own people for the right to protest and Galloway has said as much. Taking sides just because the rebels are an 'alternative' is glib at best. Galloway was right on Iraq too. He is right on Hezbollah. He is right on Palestine. He is faily consistent in his views.

Galloway as mayor would be a genuine sense of change. For the better.
