Subject: RE: BS: Politics: Tony Blair's speech
I'm not from the UK, of course, but I was just wondering; you watched "all of his speech that you could," because: you didn't have time to listen to all of it? You were late for a gig? You were disappointed with the PM's message and just couldn't listen anymore? His delivery put you to sleep? Or other?

I'm not trying to be contentious, CarolC, I'm just interested in your question.

You didn't ask for responses from those of us in the U.S. that heard the whole speech, but I'll volunteer mine anyway. I thought it was "right on." The Brits have experienced much more of this kind of thing than we have, and I assume his remarks were based on the fact that they have seen terriorism first-hand. DougR
