What I would give to see Bush and Blair in the dock...

"A former chief UN weapons inspector has compared Prime Minister Tony Blair and George W Bush, the American president, to the Nazi war criminals who started the Second World War.

Scott Ritter, a former US marine, said the US and Britain's "aggressive warfare" in Iraq was similar to German actions in Europe 66 years ago.

"Both these men could be pulled up as war criminals for engaging in actions that we condemned Germany in 1946 for doing the same thing," he said.

He said both leaders would be in a much better position if they had received the backing of the international community by the passing of the infamous second UN resolution." Link

Are we seeing the creation of a pretext for yet another war?

"Tony Blair today said new explosive devices used against British troops in Iraq were suspected to have come from "Iranian elements".

Mr Blair warned Tehran the UK would "not be intimidated" into giving up its demand that Iran should abandon its nuclear programme.

The prime minister made the UK's suspicions public at a joint Downing Street news conference with the Iraqi president, Jalal Talabani, at which both leaders stressed the importance of Iraq's referendum on a draft consitution next week.


He delivered the warning to Iran after being asked about allegations made by an unnamed British official yesterday that sophisticated new explosives had been given to insurgents in Iraq by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Iran denies the allegations." Link

A list of events happening during Black History Month (it's held during October in the UK) here. I'll post up anymore as and when I come across them.

I've been off work and ill pretty much all week (hence the lack of posts). I still feel like shit and probably wont be back until the next week...man I hate getting ill at this time of year. It get's dark too early and feeling unwell just adds to the sense of gloom.

Getting fast aint it?!
