[quote=Bazf;412935] Tony Blair does not have the overiding vote. Reading to much S*n and Daily Mail does cloud your judgement.

Two particular comments to make about this aspect of Bazf's response-

Tony Blair and George Bush are the democratically elected leaders of these twop nations- True. To suggest however that they do not have the overiding vote' is naieve in the etxreme. Not because it isnt factualy correct but because they do wield a sufficient amount of power and influence (along with their immediate aides) to enable them to manipulate the politiacal system in order to drive their agenda. Or do you beleive that they genuinely believed there were WOMD and were acting accordingly?

In regard to the comment about the Sun and Daily Mail- not really worthy of dignifying with a response- but on the other hand too patronising to ignore- I dont think I have ever actually even held a copy of these publications- I tell a lie I had a paper round when I was 11 so I have.
