Applause for Robin Cook!

The Queen of Arabia can't just sit back and watch while Arabia is threatened, can she? Darn. (Sometimes I wish I WAS the Queen.)

We've all known for some time now that the majority of the British public opposes the imminent war, and has tried to do everything, from volunteering as human shields to staging mass demonstrations like the one on the 15th of February, which is all the more remarkable because they haven't resorted to unnecessary violence.
Some superpowers should probably take a lesson or two from them.

I don't know what's going to happen, and I wonder if my opinion, or the collective opinion of the British public counts, but this dude certainly wields some clout and furthermore, definitely has the guts.
[For those too lazy to follow up the link, Robin Cook resigned yesterday over failure of the government's policy on Iraq]

Three cheers for Robin Cook!

P.S. Don't you think an Iraqi life is as precious as yours or mine, or an American's or a Brit's? Just a thought, which's probably been bothering quite a few of us.
