**Rhapsody** , I don’t understand the first word of what you’re on about, and it is fairly obvious that you haven’t understood the first word of what I was on about, never mind.

\*\*I think Blair is running scared.

Blair blurred his image in the eyes of a lot of people by supporting Bush over Afghanistan. There’s no glory in wiping out civilians - if he goes into Iraq with Bush now he’ll lose all credibility.

I have another beef with him, too. Why did he announce a national minutes silence for the victims of 9/11 when he hasn’t done the same for the victims of terrorism here in Northern Ireland … many of whom were killed with guns paid for by Americans.

Has he forgotten that there are a lot more victims of terror here … in his OWN COUNTRY!!!
