Two Independent stories
So know we know...the War in Iraq has increased the risk of international terrorism, while weakening the internationa coalition against it, according a report out yesterday by the reputable Institute for Strategic Studies.This is hardly suprising. This site has often wondered why the PM believed spring 2003 was the right time to divert scare resources of men and money away from the fight against terrorism to instead fight someone who's main threat to Britain was in the PM's own head.
Also, it has long been a surprise to me whilst so-called leftwingers spend more time "exposing" fringe leftist groups who have as much chance of real power as a bloggers collective, rather than parties that actually may gain some political control. Luckily Johann Hari today takes on the foul UKIP, which is currently riding high in the opinion polls ahead of the Euro elections.
This is a pay version, but check here in the near future where it'll be for free.
