Oh dear, Teribus. What has a threat to the abstract concept of "international peace and security" got to do with Carne Ross's view that Saddam presented no threat to the UK? You may remember it was the US and UK, not the international community, that decided to start a war. (Bush was shameless in admitting that regime chamge was the aim, so for him it didn't matter a damn whether Saddam was a threat to the US.)

Incidentally, Blair wasn't too clear about how the so-called threat to the UK changed as a result of 9-11. Perhaps you could help us there, Teribus?
