    That stability was kept by massive oppression bordering on genocide, something people seem to forget because Iraq wasn't open we will probably never know the true scale of what Saddam got up to.

    I wonder if there are any Kurds using this site as it would be interesting to here their angle on Saddam and what it was like pre and post-invasion?

    If you're implying that the world is less safe now and it is Blair's fault that's ridiculous.

    life goes on.

    i concur!

    I also think there is probably increased media coverage and reporting on the dangers now which makes people feel a lot more unsafe

    Britain is safer because the IRA are no longer a threat, thanks to Blair (amongst others).

    Britain is though less safe because of Islamic backed terrorists and part of the responsibility for that is down to Blair's decision to pursue a pointless war in Iraq before Afghanistan had been cleared up.

    or maybe the peace process was speeded up by the american realisation of what terrorism really is.suddenly the ira holds no credibility,funds dry up and blair is able to cash in on their weakness as they have nowhere left to turn.

    it could be that fallout of american foreign policy has made us safer in that regard.

    911 happened before Iraq, I think a world where that could happen is pretty unsafe.

    The Valley Express extension there was cancelled after relegation, apparently.

    [cite]Posted By: TerraSalad[/cite]Where's Len? I have been expecting chapter and verse on why Blair is the devil incarnate and why the EU is the seventh level of hell ;-)

    I can't claim the credit for this but I think it's pretty good!

    To be sung to the tune of Sinatra's 'I did it my way !'

    And now - The van is here,
    There's only one thing that I'm certain.
    Cherie will swipe the lot,
    Every light bulb and every curtain.
    I haven't spent too much on holidays
    They've all been freebies.
    My thanks to Little Cliff
    And one of the Bee Gees.

    Regrets, I've quite a few,
    But none at all about my pension.
    While some have lost the lot,
    Mine is great, I'd like to mention.
    Some say that they hate me
    For selling gongs along the highway.
    I pray that Scotland Yard
    Will not come my way.

    There were times, Iraq no doubt,
    I thought that I would get found out.
    But through it all, my friends stood tall
    And kept their gobs shut one and all.
    Then someone said:
    Just use your head
    And blame Lord Levy.

    What is a man, what has he got ?
    Well in my case, it's quite a lot
    And very soon in the USA,
    Millions more will come my way.
    And George Bush knows
    I took the blows
    And did it his way.
