WHAT is going on?

I am sick and tired of the war propaganda churned out by television and the media of this country, attempting to justify a war on Iraq.

The Americans say "irrefutable and undeniable evidence ..." I couldn't care less if there was a weapon of mass destruction on every street corner in Iraq. We have weapons of mass destruction, how many other countries do?

What I do care about is the absolute mess this country is in. Asylum seekers, future state pension crisis due to welfare state rape and pillage, thousands of job losses in manufacturing (even the French are building our Navy's ships), burglars going unpunished and not locked up, burglary victims being imprisoned and sued, strikes everywhere, taxed to the hilt, etc. Tony Blair insists he will convince the nation of a need to go to war with Iraq. My message to Mr Blair is to sort his own failings out before dictating and preaching to others.
