Don't worry I have just heard on the news that the UK Government has sent one of its very best (Dr Kim Howells of Licensing Act fame) to sort it all out.

No doubt he'll have some excuse for doing nothing whilst defenseless children are slaughtered with high tech. weaponry! He didn't get where he is today by being a decent, compassionate human being...

He already knows what it is like to have 30 pieces of silver thrown down in front of him so perhaps he is in the right place to appreciate it...

Kim Howells made the front page in the Observer today under the headline "British split with Bush as Israeli taks run in", subheading "Minister attacks 'disproportionate' raids".


Later in the article says:

Howells said: "The destruction of the infrastructure, the death of so many children and so many people: these have not been surgical strikes. If they are chasing Hizbollah, then go go Hizbollah. You don't go for the entire Lebanese nation." The minister added; "I very much hope that the Americans understand what's happening to Lebanon."

Elsewhere it says:

Downing Street ... said they had no quarrel with Howell's scathing denunciation of Israel's military tactics.

The headline should say "tanks roll in", not "taks run in".
