Paulo Coelho
Quero acreditar que tudo não passou de um pesadelo de final de semana – quando abri o jornal O Globo de domingo e vi, horrorizado, a foto de Tony Blair recebendo a camisa 10 da Seleção Brasileira, junto com um convite para ser consultor dos Jogos Olimpicos 2016. Indignado, coloquei quatro ou cinco mensagens no Twitter, que foram retransmitidas por agencias do mundo inteiro (como EFE e ANSA). Entre muitos convites para entrevista, estava o da BBC; recusei todos, porque não podia explicar o inexplicável.
Tenho certeza que o setor privado brasileiro vai apoiar gente de nosso país na organização do Jogos Olimpicos 2016. Logo depois das minhas mensagens no Twitter, o portal do jornal O Globo fez uma pergunta: Você concorda que o ex-primeiro-ministro britânico Tony Blair seja consultor dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016 no Rio?” Uma esmagadora maioria, 83,86% ( no momento em que escrevo estas linhas) respondeu: NÃO.
Ao contrário do que foi dito hoje, 2 de feveiro, no jornal o Globo (“[Tony Blair] é um dos mais importantes chefes de estado dos últimos 25 anos”), quero lembrar que:
A] apesar do apoio (constrangido) do Primeiro Ministro Gordon Brown, ele não conseguiu se eleger presidente da nas recentes eleições da União Europeia
B] as negociações de paz no Oriente Médio, onde tem seu único posto político, estão como sempre estiveram – estagnadas. Em 2006, por ocasião da guerra Israel x Hezbollah, embora ainda fosse Primeiro Ministro da Inglaterra, foi duramente criticado pela mídia internacional por não ter pedido um cessar-fogo imediato.
C] está sendo investigado pela insana decisão de invadir o Iraque (Comissão de Inquérito de Chilcot) . Segundo comunicado da Agencia Reuters há alguns minutos, uma ministra de seu governo, Claire Short, diz que em 2003 Blair mentiu para o publico e para os membros do governo.
D] seu índice de desaprovação na Grã-Bretanha beira os 90% (estimativa conservadora). Não deve ser muito diferente no resto do mundo.
E] ainda ontem, uma bomba matou dezenas de de peregrinos em Bagdá. Sim, Blair não estava sozinho nessa insanidade, mas o “outro” não foi convidado para ser consultor.
É esse o homem que desejamos associar com os Jogos Olimpicos Rio 2016?
Eu posso me estender sobre o assunto, mas só farei isso caso tamanha barbaridade siga adiante. Os empresários brasileiros não vão gastar dinheiro e prestígio com Tony Blair, mesmo que seja um “precinho camarada”, como foi afirmado hoje na rádio CBN. Ninguém em sã consciência vai procurar investimentos junto à uma pessoa que tem as mãos sujas de sangue.
Até maio, as pessoas responsáveis pelo contato com Tony Blair vão entender que não pode haver pior embaixador para o evento.
Assim espero.

This Sunday, returning from Davos, I was appalled to see that Tony Blair was invited to be consultant of Rio 2016 Olympic Games. I immediately posted in Twitter that I don’t want a person who has lied to his country and to the world, who has blood in this hand, to participate in an event where peace and healthy competition is to be celebrated.
My tweets reached the mainstream media in Brasil and UK. An online survey by the major portal O Globo shows right now that 83.86% support my position. At this stage I hope this was a bad nightmare, and the Brazilian private sector will not sponsor his participation. Let’s wait until May and see.
On a side note, no Brazilian politician made his voice heard. All of them were silent. The Portuguese post above is longer because I need to elaborate more on who is B-liar. But you can always use Google Translator.
Parabéns, Paulo Coelho. Você e o Ubaldo tem demonstrado uma participação incrível na defesa de nossos interesses de cidadãos. Ele com o a crônica “Adeus Itaparica” e você agora com este post. Fico muito feliz e com ânimo redobrado no combate,.
Dear Paulo
It is just a thought -
I made a collage.
I would like to donate it for the children of Haiti, Solar Meninos de Luz and the Association Etincelle in Montpellier.
“The Tall Poppy Syndrome” represents the abuse and the injustice of the Armement industries and some governments. It also represents all the military personnel from both sides sent to war and the families that are victims of these unnecessary wars.
I am hoping that the Banks, the wealthy, and all the other people will show their support with the highest bid for it.
I believe it is for a good cause and for the future of our planet.
I would be grateful for your thoughts on that.
Thank you.
Much love, peace and for a healthier world.

He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”

And didn’t you know that the goal of ‘World Intelligence’ is to play ‘Great Games’ and to create a one world government where the leader will be… the ‘Goat’??? That’s true.

No one will divide Blair’s “kingdom”. His PARSIN (PERES) is like a ZERO divided into two black holes in his socks. And if Sergio Cabral closes his eyes and refuses to see these holes, he should not be embarrassed that very soon people will start to see holes in his own socks…
Yes, women always pay attention to men’s shoes. Not in my case. I simply followed Lula’s advice: polished Blair’s shoes for some days, and when he relaxed, took them off… then remembered how Jesus washed the feet of his twelve apostles, also Judas…

Olympic Flame is a symbol of Olympic Games, also supreme symbol of God. Unfortunately, I can’t imagine the “Olympic Torch” in Tony Blair’s hands.

Olá Guerreiro!
Ontem, no dia de São Bráz, lembrei de ti e de teus teus gritos escritos e indignados contra o convite feito a Tony Blair.
Vc não está gritando em lugar vazio, somos teu eco.
Orei por ti ontem, pedi a intercessão de São Bráz, para que Deus mantenha sua voz ativa, sua garganta forte, sua vocação de escritor que espalha a luz abençoada.
Deus te ilumine, guerreiro!
Beijão!
(ps- a única coisa eu não gosto em vc é o time, rs. Vasco? Bah, bem podia ser corinthiano!!!:-))
Fico imensamente feliz quando pessoas com a sua influência dão voz ao que nós, anônimos, gostaríamos de dizer!
Não vejo sentido nessa escolha absurda! Não somente por se tratar de um Inglês (deixo claro que adoro os ingleses), afinal há brasileiros extremamente competentes para ocupar esta posição, mas também por se tratar de Blair! SURREAL é a única coisa que consigo pensar!
Espero, com todo otimismo, que a situação seja revista e que favores políticos sejam deixados de lado em um momento tão especial e único na história do nosso país.
Bravo, Sr. Paulo! Admiro cada vez mais sua força e comprometimento!
Grande abraço!

2016 War Games? I don’t think so! If he has any integrity at all he will make himself unavailable. Let’s wait and see just how big Mr Blair’s ego is.
Dear Paulo, It is so admirable that you have stood with such integrity & passion for what is right. Tony Blair needs to stay away from positions with respect & responsibility. He misled the people of his own country & his decisions cost so many innocent civilians & soldiers their lives.
What do some people have in their heads, sawdust or?
I´m angry of my childrens teacher,she let her out with wet socks in this cold weather, she should stay inside. I will tell her what I think.
I say NO as you told us Paulo.
We have to tell people what we think so they can think about what they do,if they can´t think for themself.
When I´m at work the teacher is responsibale for my children that they have dry clothes when they go out.
I´m a tiger today ;-)
Hard to be peace all the time ;-)
Love Jessica
Paulo, vc está certíssimo. Esse Blair, criminoso de guerra é odiado pelos ingleses. Inventou uma guerra onde milhares de cidadãos inocentes morreram.
Concordo plenamente que uma pessoa com o currículo de desserviços prestados ao mundo, especialmente à paz mundial, como o Sr. Tony Blair jamais poderia ter nem sequer sido mencionado por um governante, ainda mais um que representa um estado tão importante como o Rio de Janeiro. Pega mal para o Brasil todo. Não sou tão bairrista ao ponto de ser contra todo e qualquer convite de unma pessoas que não seja brasioleira para ser copnsultor das Olimpíadas. Mas convidar o Tony Blair, aí já parece uma provocação. Mas sei que não é provocação, é puro despreparo mesmo do governador do Rio de Janeiro e seus assessores.
Ainda bem que o Brasil tem uma pessoa como você, Paulo Coelho, que não se calou diante de tal temeridade e está gastanto parte de seu tempo para tentar avitar a degradação ainda maior da imagem do nosso tão desgastado Brasil.
Em um país onde as empresas apresentam resultados cada vez mais positivos, com centenas de excelentes executivos em todas as áreas (inclusive na de Eventos) contratar um consultor estrangeiro e ainda por cima o paranóico do Tony Blair é uma gafe imperdoável. Demonstra a falta de confiança do governador nos profissionais de seu País. E considerando as suspeitas de corrupção que pairam sobre o consultor, só podemos concluir que corrupto atrai corrupto.
Ok, mesmo que não seja um brasileiro, em função da zona que foi o Pan. São as Olimpiadas, um fenomeno de união mundial… só a presença dessa criatura acaba com todo o clima de paz. é imporssivel olhar para ele e não se lembrar da guerra.

I support you on this!
Dear Paulo Coelho, I completely agree with your position. The Olympic Games that were founded in Ancient Greece had nothing to do with politics and politicians and power. They were for ‘noble athletes’ who were fighting just for the laurel crown and glory. Even the wars had to ceased during the Games.
Nowadays, everything has turned out to be a Game for money and fame. I am sure, that the backstage of those events, is similar to what, you so vividly describe, in the ‘Winner stands alone’. Money can buy everything..
Regarding Tony Blair and every man of power, if he was not there I am sure that the SYSTEM would have somebody else in his place! Just another .. player in the International Politics and Power Chess game!
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
Yes I agree. Sport has nothing to do with politic. So leave them out of it.
Also I as thinking of Obama when he became president. He had to take over a war he didn´t started not easy for him I suppose. But I hope he has guts to end it somehow.
Love Jessica
Maybe Greece should retract the games to their homeland altogether and forget the international power struggle. It would be great for the Greek economy.

Dear Thelma,
I think you see things right. It is not only a problem with Tony Blair. – But the consequence of this attitude then has to be: No more Olympic Games. Not in this way.
‘Até maio, as pessoas responsáveis pelo contato com Tony Blair vão entender que não pode haver pior embaixador para o evento.’
Espero assim.
As an American, I so much admire you for taking the stand you did. I only wish more people would speak out about the horror that was put upon the world with lies and deception. There seems to be no consequences and there should have been.
Concordo com você Paulo, porém os políticos no Brasil atribuem o interesse próprio antes de pensar na sociedade e na sua pátria!
Acredito que por Londres sediar as próximas Olimpíadas eles poderão ter “know how” para nos passar e fazermos em 2016 uma excelente celebração!! Porém a indicação do Blair como embaixador deve ter saído de pessoas que não lêem o que acontece pelo mundo e não pensam no valor que será atribuído ao seu país com essa indicação…
Infelizmente atitudes grosseiras de nosso governo ocorre frequentemente!
Lhe dou todo apoio nessa!
Look, I don’t like Tony Blair much, never have, but I think these public attacks on him are outrageous! I thought the Warriors of Light were supposed to be spreading love, peace and light around the world and not hatred and bitterness. In my eyes anyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a Court of Law, and deserves respect. Those who follow the Christian Tradition will know that Christ said: “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Doesn’t this mean anything?
Theresa.. thanks for saying this.
you ARE right.
there is an enquiry on, and whatever outrage I hold personally, I must await the verdict of the evidence.
And, yes… this is a WoLs site..
should be Warriors of Love and Light!!
x
I do agree with you, Theresa, on one level, but I also think that almost every situation has many levels on which it may be considered. I would suggest that literally stoning a person to death in the street (as in the Biblical example) is somewhat different from expressing one’s opinions openly in reference to current world events regarding highly public figures such as Tony Blair. Or should we keep our political opinions to ourselves, unless we have something positive to say? In that case, democracy shall die a certain death, for dissent and the freedom to express it is the breath which fuels the fire of democracy and keeps it alive. More often than not, in fact, in order to “spread love, peace and light” – to actively pursue it, rather than just talking “about” it – we have to speak out against what we believe is unjust and wrong. I don’t view this forum as a “stoning of Tony Blair” so much as an open exchange of opinions between intelligent and informed individuals who seek that the light of truth should be shed on a certain current world event. In such cases, if we all keep silent, unless we have something “nice” to say, we certainly won’t be doing anything to actively spread genuine love, peace and light in the world. Love is not always hearts and butterflies; peace is sometimes achieved by screaming out very loudly; and light, well, it means truth, doesn’t it? It doesn’t mean wearing blinders or rosy glasses and pretending that everything is alright. Sometimes it means saying it like it is – even when the truth is ugly.
I would like to thank Paulo Coelho for allowing my post to be published, even when my views are obviously contrary to the majority. This proves that the blog is ALIVE and WELL!
I have no further comments.
I agree with Paulo.
As a victim of a war fueled illegally by The United States in the 80’s in Central America I have the right to speak. I want to point out that I have no prejudices against Americans in general, but American international policy has made me sick due to its indifference towards the victims of the wars they fuel and its double morality . Iraq’s war supported by the former English Prime Minister Tony Blair is only another one of the wars The States has plagued its history staining its hands with blood. It is a shame that it was fought in the name of democracy to cover the real interest behind it: the oil. Western leaders, like Bush and Blair, tend to soften the atrocities they commit talking nonsense about democracy, when what they are really doing is TERRORISM. It doesn’t matter if it is a hundred or a million innocent people who die, it all comes down to the same shameful act they are so afraid of: terrorism.
Let’s support Paulo in disowning Tony Blair from the games that are supposed to unite people from all over the world.
Speaking as an American, I have to say that I agree with you 100%, Marta. There is much that the U.S. and its supporters have promoted through acts of global terrorism (its supposedly “just wars”) over the years, but democracy – genuine democracy – has never been part of the real agenda. We don’t even have true participatory democracy in our own country – how can we seek to “impose” it elsewhere?
I’m with you all the way – enough nonsense!
Thank you, Savita, most of my American friends have told me the same, even though I know it is difficult to accept criticism when it has to do with your own country. Look up to all of you.
Love
Adriana
Todos tem um sonho !!!
O jovem BRASILEIRO ASSASSINADO tinha um. No melhor de sua idade sua vida foi BRUTALMENTE retirada.
Ninguem foi punido. Alias, os responsaveis FORAM CONDECORADOS.
E agora, esse GOVERNADOR… “A COISA NEFASTA” ao Rio de Janeiro, convida o principal ALGOZ do BRUTAL ASSASSINATO…. para dar consultoria na casa PATRIA de sua propria VITIMA ???
É um DESPREZO ao BRASIL, é um ESCARNIO aos brasileiros, É VERGONHOSO e IMORAL.
An attempt to translate in English the Portuguese version.
RIO 2016 X Tony Blair
“I want to believe that it was nothing but a nightmare at the end of the week- when I opened the newspaper O Globo on Sunday – I was horrified – A picture of Tony Blair, receiving the No 10 shirt of the Brazilian Selection , together with an invitation as a consultant for the 2016 Olympic Games. Indignant, I sent 4 or 5 messages onto Twitter that were re-transmitted to World Agencies 9skuch as EFE or ANSA). Amongst a lot of invitations for interviews – was the one from the BBC – I refused them all- because one cannot explain the inexplicable -
I am sure that the Brazilian private sector will support the people of our country “na” organisation of the Olympic Games of 2016.
Straight after my messages on Tweeter, the newspaper O Globo conducted a survey – with a question – “Do you approve of the ex-Prime Minister of Great Britain Tony Blair be a consultant of the Olympic Games of 2016 in Rio?”
An overwhelming majority of 83.86% (at the times I am writing these lines) answered : NO.
Ao contradict what was said to-day – February the 2nd on the newspaper O Globo(Tony Blair) is one of the most important leader of these last 25 years.
I want to remind you that :
A) despite the (uncomfortable) support of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, he did not managed to be elected for president in the recent elections of the European Union.
B) the Peace Negotiations in the Middle East where (he holds) his only political post, remains the same as before – stagnant – In 2006, during the war between Israel and Hezbollah – despite still – he became Prime Minister of England – He was severely criticised by the International Media for never asking for an immediate ceased-fire.
C) They are still investigating the insane decision for invading Irak (Chalcot Commission of Inquiry). A few minutes ago, a report from the Reuters Agency, advise that a Minister of his Government, Claire Short said that in 2003, Blair lied to the Public and the Members of Government.
D) His indication of disapproval in Great Britain is closed to 90% (a conservative estimate). There must not be too much difference in the rest of the world.
Even yesterday a bomb killed a dozen of travellers in Bagdad.Yes, Blair , does not only “estava sozinho nessa” insanity , , mas o “Outro” but on top of that, he was invited as a consultant.
And this is the man we want to associate with the Olympic Games of 2016?
I could go on about that subject but it will make this case a big nonsense to pursue that line.
The Brazilian business men are not going to waste money and prestige with Tony Blair as it was said to-day on the radio CBN.
No one in their conscience will offer an investment to a person who has so much dirty blood.
Till May. The people who are responsible for contacting Tony Blair will hear that they cannot have a worse Ambassador for the event.
At least, I hope”
thank you for the translation!
Obrigada!
Thank you for the translation.
Concordo com você,mas fico muito impressionada que tenha sido o único brasileiro famoso e,mesmo morando fora,tenha se manifestado.
Não sei como é possível um político tão incompetente e cínico como o S.Cabral conseguir ser eleito no estado do Rio de Janeiro.Talvez sejam essas características que o aproximam do Blair.São almas gêmeas.
I see the Olympics as a place where people strive to be the best they can be, work tirelessly for that one time, where they are proclaimed the best in the world. For so many sports it has nothing to do with money, but all to do with integrity, with discipline, with striving to be the most that you can be. Blair and Bush’s reasons for going to war in Iraq don’t constitute the diligence, the Olympic standard, you can’t lie yourself into becoming an Olympic champion.
Politics seems to be just a hopeless mess. Never ending unfortunately… I just hope to be made justice, but I feel is time for the good ones to win. At least this battle. Thank you Paulo!
Love
Olta
Esto sólo tiene una explicación, las personas que tienen complejo de inferioridad suelen juntarse con otros que son importantes para así cubrir su carencia e Inglaterra que tiene el prestigio de ser una gran potencia en toda su historia tiene ese significado. Cualquier persona que la represente tiene un gran prestigio y si es eso lo que buscan están errados porque en este momento estoy segura que Brasil tiene la capacidad suficiente para organizarse y tiene personas con gran capacidad por todo el mundo que son de Brasil con una infraestructura que puede proporcionar la ayuda que necesitan.
No a Blair, NO a que Brasil se niegue la posibilidad de respuesta que tiene para este evento. Ya han hechos otros eventos no hace falta Buscar prestigio donde no lo hay.
Mi apoyo a Paulo Coelho y enhorabuena por su sensibilidad y también por su inteligencia.
No al grupo de las Azores que se reunió para hablar de la guerra de Irak (Tony Blair, Aznar, Bush)
No a las mentiras que llevan a una guerra donde miles de personas comunes mueren.
No, no y no.
El pais de “Inglaterra” no existe, y no ha existado desde 1707. Creo que queria decir el Reino Unido o Gran Bretaña.
No al uso equivocado de “Inglaterra”.
No, no y no.
As the Olympic Games (not the few truly amateur athletes involved) is a corrupt and commercial showcase for US “global superiority”, I don’t see the problem with having Tony Blair as a consultant.
I just want to say that there are many politicans and also ordinary men and women that have blood on there hands.
Sadam also had blood on his hands.
I think it´s not right to fight back with violence.
I don´t believe in vilolence,that is not leading anywhere accept to more violence.
We need to accept and respect each other so we can live side by side.
We have to be grownup and get out of the sandbox and stop throwing sand on each other.
What should we do with them with blood on their hands?
Put them in prison and make them suffer as their victims did (eye for an eye)?
But then we are just the same as them wanting revenge, or?
If thoose people with blood on their hand can understand that their behaviour was wrong and asking for forgivness and a second chance.
Should we give them that or are they condemn forever?
What answer should God give us?
How can we have more peace on earth?
I was thinking of Jesus words “Father forgive them because they don´t know what they are doing”.
Do many of them don´t understand what they are doing?
If they realize that, we can only hope they can change.
Very difficult questions to solve.

Tony Blair é um assassino de guerra, covarde, terrorista, junto com o pai do terror Bush. eles são os terroristas do mundo. todos nós sabemos que eles invadiram o Iraque para roubar petróleo do país. inventou que os terrorista de 11 de Setembro estavam no Iraque, todos sabem que esta organização terrorista tem filiais em quase todo o mundo. desculpa de covarde, assassino matou milhares de pessoas inocentes para conseguir o petróleo do Iraque. Todo mundo aqui se lembra de quando E.U. invadiram o Iraque na época, eles atearam fogo em poços de petróleo, eles sabiam que a invasão para controlar o petróleo da região. Paulo você e eu tenhos as mãos limpas! temos todo o direito de denunciar o presente eo passado. meu direito de cidadão, não quero que este covarde aqui no nosso país, estamos a organizar os Jogos Olímpicos, diz a ele para comandar seus cúmplices de crimes de guerra, não vamos aceitar. “not afraid of you, Tony Blair, still want to see you in jail there is your place”.

Em breves linhas:
O prestígio que o Blair tem, só esta presente nos cegos e ignorantes, lembrando, “que o pior cego é aquele que não quer ver”.
Espero que tal ato de INSANIDADE MENTAL, seja realmente revisto pelos que, beirando a linha da falta do poder de cognitivo, retroajam em suas ações.
“En revenant de Davos, j’ai ete consterne de voir que TOny Blair avait etait invite en tant que consultant pour les Jeux Olympiques de RIo 2016.
J’ai immediatement poste sur Tweeter que je ne veux pas – une personne qui a menti a son pays et au monde – qui a du sang dans ses mains – puisse participer a un evenement ou la paix et une competition saine doivent etre celebrees.
Mes tweets ont atteint les medias principales au Bresil et le Royaume-Uni.
Un sondage en ligne par le journal O Globo demontre, en ce moment, que 83.86% me soutiennent.
A ce point, j’espere que ceci n’a ete qu’un mauvais cauchemar et que le secteur prive Bresilien ne va pas sponsoriser sa participation.
Attendons le mois de Mai pour voir.
J’ajoute egalement, qu’aucun politicien Bresilien ne s’est fait entendre – Tous sont restes silencieux -

E msm…nao podemos colacar mais um canalha aq dentro,eu acho que ja esta lotado demais.Ainda mais,isso so mostra a imcapacidade do nosso governo e o medo de que tudp de errado.Se eles assumiram esse compromisso,esta na hora de honra-lo ,nao?
Adoro seus posts,paulo.Voce e um genio.
It’s a pity politicians are silent when they are supposed to give their opinion either for or against, that’s why they were elected to MAKE DECISIONS!! I agree with you in that the government should reject Tony Blair and many others that go against humanity with their terrible decisions or by omission/silence (as in this case). Fortunately, the mass media has grown a lot so we can know what is happening at the same moment things are occurring. Thanks God there exist people like you that make us realise that the power of words is even more powerful than power itself….
Caro Paulo Coelho,
Sou brasileiro e por coincidência do destino trabalho em Londres em um dos projeto para as olimpíadas de 2012. Apoio a sua iniciativa de ser contrario a contratação de Tony Blair para assessor dos jogos olímpicos Rio 2016, mas por motivos muito diferente dos seus.
Concordo com o seu ponto de que não se pode desassociar os atos de Tony Blair como político de sua personalidade e historio, entretanto a real razão para não contratar o ex Primeiro Ministro é o seu desconhecimento sobre jogos olímpicos. Contratá-lo como consultar seria o mesmo que contratar Lula para ser consultor em uma Olimpíada apos Rio 2016. Ambos estão em posições circunstancial, apoiaram suas cidades candidatas e tiveram seu papel na conquista de sediar uma olimpíada, mas o fizeram da mesma forma que Obama por Chicago, Jacques Jirac por Paris, ou qualquer outro chefe de estados com um mínimo de amor a sua pátria faria. No caso de Londres o único político que pode-se dizer realmente comprometido com os jogos, sua organização e sucesso como candidatura e o ex-prefeito Ken Livingstone. Este foi o único que percebeu que seria possível alinhar os interesses de organizar tal evento com a reurbanização de áreas degradadas. Estes e o caso do ‘bairro’ Lea Valley onde serão sediados os jogos de 2012.
Valorizar o produto nacional e papel de todo os políticos e formadores de opinião. Entretanto, para que o Rio possa explorar todo o seu potencial neste evento, e se transformar em uma nova cidade após 2016, e precisa de muita inspiração e experiência, independente de sua nacionalidade.
Atencisamente,
Sandro Tubertini
Caro Sandro,
Eu estou de acordo com o Paulo, mas aprecio muito seu ponto vista expresso acima. Independentemente do Toni Blair nao estar moralmente a altura de representar as olimpiadas no Rio, ele nao tem porque ter conhecimento dos jogos olímpicos. Sou residente em Barcelona desde 1988 e o artifice e cerebro da Barcelona Olímpica 92 foi Pasqual Maragall prefeito da cidade na ocasiao e nao do presidente Felipe Gonzalez.
Dear Paulo
I am British and for some weeks have watched the Iraq inquiry for some time keenly.
On Friday, Blair appeared as a witness and the world ‘witnessed’ what he had to say.
It was a tough day of questioning. Blair, as always, did his utmost to sound convincing.
Did the world believe? Many did not.
And I hear your concern.
Let’s hope that, as in the spirit of the Olympics,
that there is peace in it’s foundations.
this is a silly question (sorry) how did you add a photo to your profile?? thanks in advance!!
I think you have to go to…

I can definitely see a point in fighting against having Tony Blair, or any other main players from the international political war game, as a consultant for the Olympic Games in Rio, and can understand why this is very upsetting to you and the Brazilian people/people of Iraq/anybody against the war in Iraq.
For me as an American, having countrymen/women suffering from after effects of the 9/11 attack, I see Tony Blair as a supporter of a war-against-terror, a supporter of standing up against a vicious attack against innocent people, and I just cannot see him as a war-criminal any worse than those Al Quidas who work day and night to plan and execute new attacks. Hopefully Brazilian government will realize this too.
Am I proud of the American or alliance’s nuclear war machine? Of course not. Anybody with intentions to kill, are on the wrong path, and are as wrong as any guerrilla groups small scale.
I just don’t see a point in scape-goat-ing Tony Blair. It is the entire international community that needs to pull the weapons down. But, for sure I can support your stand on keeping politic out of a positive sport event, with the intention to bring people of all colors and cultures, into an positive communicative/peaceful event.
Dearest Heart.
I sympathise.
It’s been a tremendous few months of examining evidence here for the Iraq Enquiry in London.
As for Blair, well… only God knows his truth.
I don’t think sport should ever be political.. that’s just not what it needs.
It’s crazy that everything means so much that politicians are brought in… why, i don’t know..
yet The London olympics are costing billions…
it’s strange times some times ;o)
Dirty politic Catherine..playing the blame game! In the USA roughly, plus/minus 50% support the Democrats, w/president Barrack Obama and 50% support the Republicans… Myself I am an Independent (estimated 30% might find themselves here), making up my mind case by case. So these are the opinions in swing, back and forth, back and forth over and over again. Politic is not my cup of tea :)
It is Vietnam all over again. Maybe the US should stay at home next time? Just a question!
Sure. USA could have stayed out of so many conflicts, Bosnia, Somalia, Yemen, North Korea to mention a few. Honestly, I believe the war-machine is mostly about making money…blood money!

Dear Paulo,
You cannot imagine how much I do admire your courage and your firm stand to what you believe in, namely peace and love for the whole world..
Yes Toni Blair is but a person who lied to his own people and to the world and his hands are tainted by the blood of thousands and thousands of innocent children, women, and men including those of his own country!
It is unbelievable that he is invited to be consultant of Rio 2016 Olympic Games and it is as appalling as his naming in 2007 as the Middle East PEACE envoy for the United Nations, European Union, United States, and Russia…
Love from Vienna

My Love serenade
I would have to agree with this call from Paulo. As I am not from Brazil I wonder if I have a right to comment on this but as with everything people are becoming more of a community outside of the barriers of countries. I think that now the Iraq Inquiry is proving that the war on Iraq was illegal and Tony Blair made decisions knowing that the war was illegal; people can have more of an educated view on this subject.
People around the world have been fooled for long enough and I am glad that we as civilians of Earth can start to believe in the ‘better right’ than the ‘supposed truth.’ I think that main point is that this man, Blair, has blood on his hands and with over one million dead in Iraq since 2003 the numbers count up. What message would Brazil send to the world having him waving a flag of peace in 2016? What message would it send to the youth of Brazil?
On a last note; if you check to see how much money Blair earns each year – close to and over £7 million it will make you sick to think of the unnecessary suffering that was caused illegally to peasant people who now have nothing.
B-liar alright!!
kealan, It is not only to the youth of Brazil! it is to the youth of the World.. the Olympics are for the citizens of the World!! and I am a citizen of the World!
Thank you Paulo!!
LOve and GraDitude

Also the Olympics originated in Greece :) I visited the place they light the Olympic Torch a few years ago… It was very spiritual. Hope to go back one day.
it’s almost all burned now………………
Kealan,
you really think that this was the evidence – so plain and clear?
;o)
Evidence?
Mto bem….. será que não basta os péssimos políticos que temos no Brasil? ainda querem contratar maus exemplos de fora? #olhapraondevaiaminhasuadacontribuicao
B-liar – i love that you say this, its perfect.
Paulo, voce está certissimo, tem de ser um brasileiro, não é possivel colocar um ingles nesta posição nos jogos olimpicos do Brasil!! Parabens!
