I suddenly hear a news reporter asking Barak Obama, "Sir, with the positions you have been taking recently, you seem to be leaning very much toward the pro-republican agenda.  Pro-Israel--no matter what?  Have they been freed from international law?  Very harsh words about Iran, though less harsh than those of your republican opponent, and George Bush, and the various hangers-on, but isn't it true that our own security forces have confirmed that there isn't a weapon's programme, and that there wasn't back in 2003 when the republicans claimed--I mean, senator, these are the exact arguments you could use to bring down not just Bush, who is a figurehead, but the entire corrupt financial system--

Good coverage this evening, thanks!  Barak Obama at a certain point morphed into Tony Blair in my head, and I thought, "Yes, but Tony Blair needed George Bush to push him into a war.  Who's Barak Obama's George Bush?"

But England is smaller than the U.S.  The U.S. is equal biggest, at least, with China and Russia and India and the EU.  

So I thought, "Would Tony Blair have gone to war if he had been president of the United States?"

The U.S. had it's 2004, so I'll make the analogy: as Bush's second term is to John Major's....no no.  But a healthy rate of say and do, about 50/50 is good--but keeping the doing to 50, but the doing is winning the election...I remember the Bill Hick's sketch.

Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
