Interesting that the Bush regime plans to try unilaterally members of the Iraq regime for war crimes without recourse to the international war crimes convention - which it has not signed up to anyway. A bit rich from the country that gave us Mai Lai, (Vietnam), Hiroshima & Nagasaki, El Salvador, Somalia and the present deaths of innocents in Iraq to add to a long list. Sadam is bad, sure, but surely a Christian*, as Bush allegedly is (and Blair too), born again, or otherwise, can see the hypocisy in this position.

*And I would add any unbiased Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Rastafarian, Atheist or [fill in your own belief sytem] would come to the same conclusion.

Speaking of disingenuous, what on earth is Blair doing inviting Bush to Northern Ireland? Asked what city he knew in northern Ireland, Dubya said Dublin! What can such an ignoramus possibly contribute to a complex situation like Northern Ireland. What have the ordinary peace-loving folks of those counties done to deserve the presence of such a warmonger ( or 2 warmongers, for that matter)?
Well the thing is, it is the only place already adequately saturated by troops safe enough for the texas ranger.
Mark my words, Blair will go the same way as the dreadful Thatcher. He has become so puffed up by his treatment in the US, that he has forgotten that it is the better-informed electorate in the UK that really matters for his future.
