To me you're both different sides of the same coin.

You are looking for simplistic answers.

Both of you seem to accept Tony Blair's explanaton for doing what he did.

One says he was right - maybe. One says he was wrong - definitely.

The actual facts of this matter are surely something to speculate, rather than argue about.

If you think an exotic bird of passage like George will have the answers on a card in his beak, you are wrong Akenaton.

Terribus - your lack of interest in understanding everything about why people acted the way they did in everything from the holocaust to the miner's strike should send up warning signs to you. You have no empathy for politics. You just don't understand it. Its not your subject. Its all to do with human beings. You would be better off spending your time playing those games where you re-fight the battle of Waterloo. You can be Napoleon and do all the silly things he did. And add some of your own. I'm told its fun.
