BBC have just shown a roomful of people being asked to put their hands up if they thought Kerry won the third debate. Up went most of the hands. Then they were asked who was going to vote for Bush. Up went most of the hands again. If I hadn't hada the benefit of Doug's intelligent reasoning at Mudcat, I would have been quite surprised that any nation on earth could produce a roomful of such zombies.

I wonder if Doug has been following those briefings from the UN nuclear inspections team about all that potentially dangerous stuff in Iraq that's gone walkabout? Much of it, including an entire building apparently, came up for sale in the Arab dictatorships. Thank goodness Saddam is in prison, or the situation might have been quite worrying.
