Tony Blair: "Look How Huge My Balls Are!"

"Germany was responsible for the outbreak of World War II. We must all live with the consequences." -Tony Blair

That's awesome.

Can you imagine George Bush telling The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, as Tony Blair told the German newspaper Bild, "The South was responsible for the outbreak of The Civil War"?!? (Granted, states within the US are not the sovereign nations of Europe, but as the European Union gathers momentum, she will be speaking increasingly with one voice. This, as Americans scoff at "Iowa", or conversely, "Maine".)

Both statements are true (Hitler's invasion of Poland and then Russia / Ft. Sumter) yet in America we are afraid at times to acknowledge Southern responsibilty in one of the most horrilbe transgressions in our past.

A proud Virignian, I stand with PM Blair in spirit when I say, "The South started the Civil War and we all must live with the consequences."

Like Shoney's, and Cafe Risque, and Kenny Chesney, and Baptist churches...
