Al...Sorry for seeming to tar you along with Blair, and I probably find all the alternatives on offer even less palatable than you do.

The question is quite simple... Was he bad or stupid? The same question I would ask all who supported this war....especially TERIBUS.

BUT.....the whole notion of pre-emptive war just because someone thinks it may give personal kudos....like something thought up by some focus group, is to my mind evil incarnate.
Something which should not be convieniantly forgotten, or weighed against a few more pennies on the pension, or another week in Tenerife for the nurses.

Today Blair lectures our minorities on their behaviour, praising terrorism ect. Yet who will point to his own bloodstained hands and demand that justice is seen to be done .......Ake
