Open mouth, insert foot.........

A few pieces which will be reworked eventually that are made up entirely of quotes from members of the Bush administration. When you put them together it becomes quite a frightening discourse. To think that these phrases came out of the mouths of some of the most powerful politicians in the world at the time and whose actions affected huge numbers of innocent people. The colours used represent the colours of the Iraqi flag. As I've said in this blog before, I'm no apologist for Middle East dictators but when the reasons for going to war are erroneous and false, our leaders' duplicity and stupidity should be noted and brought to a wider audience.

An interesting point from a Telegraph commentator today; Why aren't the hundreds/ thousands of children that are killed by drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan by western forces given the same news space that the children gunned down in Connecticut have?

Five Afghani girls were killed the other day by a landmine as they were foraging for firewood. I wonder if it only reached the news over here becaue it was most likely a Russian landmine leftover from the war in the 80s that killed them. Bad Russians.
