beeeeep!

"War - what is it good for?"

Glad you asked.

In a way, I get the feeling that our very reluctance to go to war is a good thing. We should in no way be clamouring for causing the sort of death and destruction war causes with the same apparent eagerness as The Dumb Shrub is. And if he takes his country to war without the backing of the United Nations (probably dragging us in the UK with him, unfortunately) do you think they'll be punished for that (theoretically) illegal action?

Me neither.

So, two questions. No, three.

Do I think Ole Saddo is hiding weaponsofmassdestruction? (It's all blended into one word these days) Certainly. It's just obvious, isn't it? What isn't obvious is why the US isn't handing all that intelligence they've got over to the inspectors so they can make good use of it.

Do I think Ole Saddo is actually backing al-Qaeda in a true sense, i.e. resources and the like? Probably not. Just because there are supposedly cells in Baghdad does not mean the government there is backing them. If that were so, we'd need to investigate the UK's backing of the IRA, for example. That announcement from al-Qaeda notwithstanding (And is it bin Laden? Why does it matter?) they are supposed to be non-compatible in the ideolgy stakes. Though Iraq might do it just to annoy the US... But would al-Qaeda accept that help?

Do I think Ole Saddo needs to go? Absolutely. Trouble is, start on toppling one tyrant and you can never stop with the next or the next or the next...

But how, if not by war? Leave a message if you have a good answer....



Are photo phones any good?

I have no idea, you see. I understand the resolution is not very good, but the major problem is sending the pictures on. Who can they go to? What does it cost to do it? It's probably easy to find out, but I just haven't bothered.



Gaming is good for you, apparently

Yes, online shooting games like Counterstrike aren't just about shooting and kills, they're about community. You're as likely to hear laughter from players as swearing, or so a recently completed research project says. So get out there now and join a game and laugh at pathetic so-called game players; alternately, join a game and get laughed at or even killed for being useless or having a shit connection.

What fun.
