OK, so they ditched collectivism. All that means surely is that they have greater access to our markets now. I don't trust the Russians not to play silly buggers with energy prices if they get half a chance. This is one of the reason I think we need more nuclear power stations like the French. Even the Iranians want nuclear power, perhaps they don't trust Russia for when their oil runs out either? < ‘It is Condi Rice who leads on behalf of you, me, the entire Western world, in waging this deepening Cold War with Iran’ (Boris)<

Given his recent proclamation on doing drunken things that "I am the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do", the perfect reply would have been, "assume we all agree withot asking first? I am an MP. It's what I do". Enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work. The Bishop of Southwark a heckler? Given his recent proclamation on doing drunken things that “I am the Bishop of Southwark.

Although, the thought is based in humour (not to say your comments are, but the general consensus is one of a fragrant and jocular mental physique) the meaning is that on a perspective of America, would the harbouring of Christian fantatics justify a sea born invasion of the big US? I mean, the WMD's are there.. (and knowing the nature of the past US administration, they're not afraid to use them) we know children in the US are being indocrinated with creationist ideas (arguably this in itself a violation of religious freedoms, as not all religious creation storys are alledged to have been taught equally). So we have the WMD's, the suppression of truth in education (propaganda), we need to include a somewhat ruthless and ignorant leader who has killed more civilians than Saddamn Hussain. Hang on, Bush?. If thier justification for war is false, they could always steal the oil in Alaska, and give contracts solely to coalition nations. Although I don't obviously agree with the perspective, it is a intriguing contrast that is seldom brought up in the media, that the evil which the US has portrayed to us, could be infact interpretated as themselves. Don't know why I posted this here, but I respect your work, and you are right about Condi! Boris,
