Quote of the day

The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape

Vaclav Havel

Blair has played a big part in the chaos in Iraq. An Inquest is in order.

I proprosed a new thread and I think that it should kick off with an Inquest style inquiry as to what his motives were and also the interaction with Bush and its effects. I am firmly of the belief that when we look into a leaders actions and policy decisions, we should attempt to analyse his psychological condition, even if we can only only glean some limited information on this from searching the web,etc., The unconscious motivation of the chief protagonsists of the Iraq war are hardly mentioned. Too much is taken at face value or what the politicians advance as their reasons. We need to know a bit more abut what makes them tick as individuals in order to shine some light on the influences on their decisions that we don't normally discuss. As it is very late I sahll stand aside and elt someone lead off.
