When war becomes peace.

When killing is presented as a humanitarian endeavor.

When war criminals are rewarded for killing people.

When killing is justified in the name of democracy. When killing people is equated with to "bringing liberty" to those you have killed.

A known war criminal is rewarded for his contributions to peace and constitutional democracy. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is to be awarded a $100,000 Liberty medal by the National Constitutional Center in Washington, DC.

This award is granted to Tony Blair for "bringing liberty to people around the world".

Another known war criminal, former president Bill Clinton will present the award to Tony Blair in September.

Clinton stated that: "It was a privilege to work with my friend Tony Blair to help end 30 years of sectarian violence and broker a lasting peace in Northern Ireland, to stop the killing in and mass exodus from Kosovo, and to develop policies that would improve living conditions for people in both our countries."
