My ex husband works at an airbase in Oxford. Some of the English military speak to him and one told him that some Iraqi kids were coming up to the British soldieers and saying 'Fuck you' when asked, through an interpretor, why they were doing it they told the soldiers that American troops had tought them this is the way you say hello in English. Score zero for the diplomacy of the yanks.

I am steaming at the interview I heard on radio four this morning regarding the letter senior British diplomats have written to Tony Blair about Iraq. A government spokesmen called the diplomants a lot of 'Arabists'. I heard another quote saying that the diplomats had been in the Arab states for too long. Surely to God these are the very people who the government should be listening to?

Got cheered up a bit when I cam on line and found this link that someone e mailed me

I fear for the future of American children.
