The Trial of Tony Blair2007

[Tony is meeting the publisher of his memoirs who is very critical of the book and recommends a lot of changes to it.]

Publisher:
I think the chapters on the Iraq War could be trimmed - the book would benefit and sales would benefit.

Tony Blair:
You will not cut a word of those chapters. I did not take this country to war in order to be popular.

Publisher:
[drily] Well you certainly succeeded there.

Tony Blair:
[pauses for thought] I took this country to war because it was the right thing to do. It was the right thing for Britain and one day history will judge me. And it'll be the liberal journalists, the sneering intellectuals, the appeasers, the bloodless, spineless chattering classes of which you are obviously a member, those will be the ones found wanting, those'll be the ones in the dock of history, not me. Because if I'd listened to all the *moral* cowards, like you, then that murdering bastard Saddam Hussain would still be in power. So cut one word from those memoirs and, so help me, I'll take it away from you.

Publisher:
Then you won't mind if it's so laughable and ridiculous and poorly-written that no-one wants to read it.
