Judson University Should Dis-invite War Criminal Tony Blair

Walt Zlotow

 

Judson University is cordially invited to dis-invite former British Prime Minister and George W. Bush co Iraq war criminal Tony Blair from being keynote speaker at their community event Faith, Power and the Post Modern World, Friday, April, 2013, at the Judson University Elgin campus. No institution of higher education or any societal organization should legitimize the deeds of a world leader who conspired with the Bush Administration war cabinet to launch a criminal war against Iraq nearly ten years ago that resulted in millions of Iraqi deaths, casualties and refugees; and hundreds of thousands of American casualties, including 4,488 dead. The print ad for the event proclaims "Attendees will receive a special book signing and photo opportunity with Tony Blair". The only photo op we should be privileged to see is Blair being arrested for war crimes and frog marched off the Judson campus on his way to the Hague for trial.

If Judson University proceeds with Blair's appearance they should change their school motto to: "Judson University: where war criminals are welcome".
