Subject: RE: BS: Maybe Bush is right.
Here's another link to that piece by Terry Jones that Jack the Sailor gicked out, but in the Observer itself, which is prhaps more reliable at archiving tbis ,ind of thing. And it is easier reading too, in the newsprint format.
And here is a link from another comment by Terry Jones which was run in last Sunday's paper: "It's heart-warming to hear Tony Blair's concern for the plight of the Iraqi people and how the only possible way to help them is to bomb them with everything the Americans have. Mr Blair's sudden sympathy for the Iraqis' political aspirations comes as a welcome relief after all these years of US, UK-led sanctions, which have caused the deaths of over half a million Iraqi children, according to the UN...
...But I'm a bit worried that Tony may be deluding himself that his friends in the White House share his altruistic ideals. I'm sure Tony has been reading all the recent stuff about PNAC - "The Project For The New American Century" - but has he looked at their website? (www.newamericancentury.org)"
One interesting point here is that The Observer actually backs Blair over the war, but on primnciple it finds room for opposing views. Well, it's a "liberal" paper after all.
