Take me to court
I am afraid that sometimes I can be just that little bit on the slow side. Therefore, I was wondering if you would like to expand on your view that 'people taking themselves too seriously helped kick this war off in the first place'.
The war, to a certain extent, has proven to be not the problem, it is the subsequent occupation of Iraq where the problem arises.
Therefore, do you seriously think that my continued commenting about the actions of the politicians and the soldiers has in some way been obsessive. You ask the family of any of the military, both close and extended, what they think about the death, or injury of or to their loved one. I don't think that I am obsessive at all, I now begin to understand how Churchill must have felt in his wilderness years!
Mind you there are some people who are now beginning to write about the lies told by Tony Blair, in more than one situation, and even if they now take the credit I seriously don't care, as long as there is truth and justice, then I feel part of a free country. Maybe not as free as I would love it to be, but Rome was not built in a day.
Mind you, I have to say that the courts can still issue injunctions preventing free speech on the spurious grounds of breaking a contract, so there is a long way to go yet.
I wonder if Tony Blair, or Gordon Brown who paid for the wars, would like to take me to court for impugning their character. Mind you if they did I would have to demand access to all the papers, transcripts of all conversations, to show that my comments were valid. Mind you they can always try to bring more editorial control to the internet, couldn't they Nick. Now surely, nobody would even think of doing that, would they?
