SO that's what the search for and removal of weapons of mass destruction was all about. First we had Wicked Saddam, a man of few charms and answerable to no one!

Then we had Wise Blair a man of few qualms when it comes to preferring advice from his much vaunted Military Intelligence, whilst blatantly ignoring his own taxpayers and UN disapproval of his actions.

And what finally do we end up with? We have Brave Ali, a youth now without arms, his family decimated, and left with little hope for much great action in his future life! And many more like him.

We all know in our hearts that two wrongs don't make a right but who is going to make Wise Blair accountable - as purveyor both of much charm and that scourge of the inquisitive child, our very own lethal and indiscriminate, cluster bomb - for actions wrongly undertaken in our name and the cause of such terrible and unnecessary suffering?
