Mr. Tony Blair as peace envoy...can anyone justify it?

I share the views in the following article...

The Peace Envoy

By Gilad Atzmon

06/30/07 "ICH" -- -- What a great day for peace enthusiasts! A new envoy to the Middle East has been appointed for the Quartet, and it’s no other than the former British PM, Tony Blair. Blair, the man who gave the Israelis the green light to flatten Beirut. Blair, the man who started an illegal war in Iraq. Blair, a man who, according to the Geneva Conventions, is to be held personally responsible for more than 700,000 dead in Iraq for failing to ‘protect civilian populations against certain consequences of war’[1]. A man who is supposed to be charged for genocide at The Hague. That’s right, a man who should end his life behind bars is now becoming a peace envoy.

Update:

Both arejokerswild and timojan have given excellent answers...I can't understand why there isn't an outrage at what's happening in our world, the injustices and the misery is overwhelming and the perpetrators are getting away with it...where is our conscience?

    Bush rewards the men who help him accomplish his evil deeds whether that be land grabbing in Texas, his Harken oil deals, his Enron deals, his illegal and immoral war in Iraq or whatever else he has done. So, he is just repaying Blair. Will the evil ever stop?

    If Tony Blair wanted peace in Iraq maybe he souldn't of declared war.

    Also making Tony Blair a peace ambassador is like say Hitler or Pol Pot are stand up examples of Human Rights supporters LOL
