The Middle East - If ?

USA and UK are often (well, usually, nowadays) portrayed as unwanted Western aggressors in the area, who cause more trouble than they prevent. So, to speculate, if all USA / Western forces and...

Tony Blair - Bliar ?

'Bliar' is an epithet commonly applied to TB. Do you realise how serious the accusation of 'lying' actually is ? If you said such a thing to most people you'd be up on a charge. So, what I want to...

Flowers don't grow like they used to
