SO Clinton and Blair have managed to spoil Christmas and have given a two-fingered salute to the Prince of Peace. The God of War and Herod the Great (he who massacred the Innocents) are their real objects of worship.
It ought not to be necessary to point out that the attack on Iraq is an illegal act of aggression, because it has not been specifically authorised by the Security Council: indeed both China and Russia have made it clear that they are opposed to it.
And shouldn't Blair and Clinton remove the beam in their own eye first? What they are in effect saying to Iraq is - WE can have weapons of mass destruction, but YOU can't. The message of the bully down the ages.
