My ISP went down for a while just after I visited this thread about 24 hours ago and clicked on the link and bookmarked it. It was very weird - it has never happened before. Given the state of everything these days, I must admit I was hit with a certain amount of paranoia, wondering if big brother had shut me down for visiting an Iraqi website. Maybe I've been reading too many of Dreaded Guest's posts!

Anyway, it was back on after about 15 minutes and I've settled down a bit. I don't like it that my country has been dobbed in as one of the Coalition of the Willing, which many of us are not, and I am living in Sydney, one of the biggest cities in Oz. I can't help feeling a bit like a target for retribution further down the track. Can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for the poor folks in Iraq! I hope he manages to stay online.
