Hi Jim,

Sorry about that misunderstanding, totally my fault, I should have made it clearer.

Watched CNN last night, the British father of one of the Lockerbie victims was fairly positive about this meeting, he seemed more pissed off at Michael Howard for jumping in immediately and criticising the visit on the grounds that it would offend the relatives/loved ones of those killed. The father being interviewed was of the opinion that if Howard was going to come out with a statement like that he should have contacted their association first before attempting to speak on their behalf. An interview with an American father who had lost his son on that flight was completely different, he just couldn't believe that anything like this could be allowed to happen. So it takes folks in different ways, even those closely involved.

The general Brit public? They were, I believe, 100% behind Blair when he took the steps necessary to bring about the Good Friday Agreement. Hopefully they will go along in a similar manner with this.
