Well I think I agree with Ted.....The arguments have been advanced umpteen times by left, right and by folks who just hate war.

The end product is that the overwhelming majority everywhere believe the war to have been cooked up to suit the agenda of the American administration and supported by a glory hunting Labour UK prime minister. The standing of the USA and the UK as been damaged forever by this stupid and cruel war
The incident of the shoes and the subsequent celebrity of the thrower bears this out.
The irony is, that if the Tories had been in power in the UK we would never have gone into Iraq, Labour would have voted against it almost to a man and there would have been more than enough decent Conservative rebels to ensure no war.

America should take heed of the damage that can be wrought by a "Liberal" when intoxicated by ego and power....Ake
