Kuwaiti businessman challenges Tony Blair to TV debate!


A Kuwaiti businessman has challenged former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair to a televised debate on the future of the Gulf state. Fahad Al-Othman has taken out three-quarter-page adverts in several leading Arabic newspapers inviting Blair to go head-to-head before the nation, after it was revealed the Briton was paid £1m ($1.5m) to advise the Kuwaiti royal family.
Blair has said Kuwait needs to change if it is to fulfill its potential and avoid an "uncertain future".
A Facebook group has already formed supporting Al-Othman’s bid for a television debate. Fans posted comments asking when the event would take place, with one adding it would be “an exceptional event”.
Interesting, I wonder what kind of advise is worth $1.5 m!
