Axis of evil
YOU reported Tony Blair's 'axis of evil' speech (I am sure no one will guess who's pulling his strings).
You failed to mention that British troops are already on their way to the Middle East, presumably preparing to intensify the current war against the people of Iraq.
Mr Blair says that the world is in imminent danger from Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
What were those eight years of humiliating weapons inspections all about then?
And after that the holocaust unleashed to target 'Iraq's weapons of mass destruction'?
Is it not obvious to everyone that those with real capabilities of mass destruction are those most frequently prescribing them to cure those states they term 'rogue'?
If Iraq had any way of hurting the US then it would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for the restraint it has shown (in view of the 11 years of bombs and sanctions that have killed more than 1.5 million of its citizens).
