The War was not the "brain child" of GW Bush, despite what many here say, it was America's response to an attack on US power and perceptions of invulnarability, allied to more mercenary issues like the safeguarding of energy supplies.
The endeavour was doomed from the start, but remember how the politicians rushed to support an "easy war"...Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives, Labour, they all wanted a share of the glory when Saddam was sacrificed.


Most of the general public went along for the ride, look back on these pages and see how few spoke against the war.....to begin with!
It seems our alliegence to political Parties outweighs our humanitarianism. It was really was "OUR" war no matter how much we may be in denial, but at least it has brought about an awakening as to how we are perceived by other cultures.   To put it bluntly we allow ourselves to be conned again and again, this time its a "black" president, next a woman, then a transvestite....any other minority? I suppose we could have the whole circus before we realise that only Little Hawk's chimp can save us!

What idiots we are, if the state of our financial institutions and the behaviour of those who run them can't convince us that the whole system is rotten to the core, then I'm afraid there is really no hope for us

Its very convenient to blame Bush and people like Mrs Palin for our predicament, but perhaps we should start looking at our own thought processes before calling Sarah stupid!

Now I'll take the advice of the wisest amonst us....and go fuck myself!!......Ake
