Speaking of moral relativists.

And idiots-- Galloway: Blair's death would be justified

By DAVID STRINGER
The Associated Press

Galloway was quoted as saying an attack on Blair that caused no other casualties would be a justifiable response to Britain's support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

"It would be entirely logical and explicable — and morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq as Blair did," the monthly GQ magazine quoted Galloway as saying. [...]

I take it the term "maverick" has now come to mean "unhinged."

Noting that Mr. Galloway was contacted for verification of his quote and was reached while travelling in Cuba, you may recall it was this same Mr. Galloway who was rather cozy with yet another megalomaniacal dictator.

One is reminded of a prime minister's words from an earlier era (who exulted in the euphoria of having been shot at without result) who chastised those who wished to remain neutral to the rising threat of German National Socialism: "Each one of them hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, it will eat him last."
