For IP if you wish.
Anatole Kaletsky is a respected commentator on economic matters in the
London Times. He rarely strays into politics.
Which makes his hard-hitting article in today's London Times on Tony
Blair's speech to the Labour Party conference yesterday all the more
interesting. You can find it at

Excerpt -
<<...In sum, Mr Blair, seems to have convinced himself that Iraq and
Afghanistan are effectively one country and that al-Qaeda, the Taleban
and Saddam Hussein are all the same. Britain's chattering classes
haughtily patronise the 60 per cent of American voters who apparently
believe that Saddam was behind 9/11. Yet in Britain we now have a Prime
Minister whose whole Middle Eastern strategy rests on this same
fiction, and whose analysis of global terrorism is so illogical that it
makes President Bush sound like Socrates.>>
