Trumble, it's nothing to do with his identity. It's the manner in which he handles delicate international matters, especially Iran. His own bellicosity and that of the French and the Americans does not help in any way in diffusing a very sensitive international issue. A very important case in point is when the Russian military went into South Ossetia and vanquished the Georgian military; Milliband, in his capacity as Foreign Secretary, contributed numerous op-eds denouncing the Russians without knowing what the true, unvarnished situation was, a matter that was clarified by the UN itself. The same applies to his position on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, he is grotesquely disproportionate in his denunciation of 'terrorism' when he rounds on Hamas time and again, despite the unarguable facts of near daily Israeli incursions, a crippling embargo, expanding settlements, indiscriminate massacres committed in Gaza, an unending occupation and various other atrocities with respect to that conflict. To have such a divisive and belligerent individual as Prime Minister of the UK harks back to the Blair era and the catastrophic implications that had for all of us.
