We have to remember the famous quote: All it takes for evil men to win is for a few power-crazed lunatics to build the biggest and most economically successful nation in the world and then go round other countries blowing the shit out of them. Or did I mis-remember?

I suspect Gareth has his tongue stuck tight in his cheek. I certainly hope so.

Did you understand everything I think I thought I said, or did my twist get all tongued up around my eye tooth so that I could not see what I was saying? Bob

Point proven Kevin !

Little Hawk - I am appalled to see you come out in your true colours. I find this particulally galling when there are far to many retrospective justifiers of Hitler arround. But then your posted love for Weapons should have been an indicator.

TIA - Dont worry, it wasn't over anybody elses head.

Yes, thank you, Adolf & Benito. Hang in there. Do not let the naysayers and nitpickers get you down. Your courage and tenacity stirs admiration in all who value freedom and justice, and you will no doubt be exonerated by history in due time...

He didn't really - I mean, what he said was, and I think this is a fair paraphrase, not in any way a quote, "the grounds for the war is the need to get rid of the weapons of mass destruction we know Saddam has, which threaten us - but if in the course of this we can get rid of this evil dictator it will be a very welcome bonus".

I have the courage of my convictions-

YOU are a bit stubborn and self-righteous-

HE is dangerous, pig-headed fool.

TIA - Blair did !

Just remember, there is more to calling yourself a peace activist than singing "We Shall Overcome"

If the war was really about humanitarian liberation of the Iraqi people, why didn't they have the courage to sell it as such?

If they'd only lied about a blowjob instead of faking evidence to precipitate a war....

It is true they showed they had the courage to stand up and engage in war.

What I consider most unfortunate is that they did not have the courage to stand up and refrain from war.

As for "leadership" I can only say that Attilla was a fine leader of men too. I guess it depends on your definition of terms.

I agree with you. Both Bush and Blair show courage in sending others into war, resolve in denying evident truths, and Bush especially shows morality in the way he takes elections.

There are many of us who appreciate these men for their leadership. We admire them for their moral courage and resolve.
