Teribus.....I am well known in my locality,as a happy-go-lucky fellow, who always has a smile and a kindly word for everyone.
I never get depressed by the actions of our political leaders, or the idiocy of those who support them in the face of overwhelming evidence of their duplicity.

However ,I reserve the right to give my opinion on the consequences of our foreign policy, which as far as Iraq is concerned has indeed meant "doom gloom and more gloom", mainly for the innocent civilians of Iraq and the sons and daughters of America and Britain.

My happy and cheerful personna is somewhat reinforced by the news that 70% of the American people now see the war as a grave mistake and the American administration as untrustworthy.

This may seem unremarkable to we in the UK, who have long been steeped in cynicism regarding our "representatives", but if the sleeping giant of American opinion is at last roused to question the cabal who inflict them, I will in fact be cheering from the rooftops.

And singing   "God bless America"...Ake
