I did have a lenghty, informed and well-written reply ready to post earlier but the forum crashed at just the wrong moment. I can't be arsed to piece it all back together, but I can summarise the important points as follows:

1- Aloofi - sorry, no offence meant.
2- George Bush is an arsehole.
3- Tony Blair is an arsehole's arsehole.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's number 4:

4- "I'm sure they will be called communists in short order. You'd think the neo-fascisti could find a new buzz-word more than a decade after the fall of the Evil Empire, wouldn't you?"

We do have a new buzz word. It's "terrorist": Precise enough to terrify the public into endorsing monstrosities, yet vague enough to be applied to anyone you want to bomb/ arrest/ vanish. Inspired.
