HERE in Spain, the media have been showing the results of the war in graphic detail.
As I look at these images of dead British soldiers -- a five-year-old girl who will never walk again, and a 12-year-old boy who lost not only his arms but also his entire family -- I realise that Tony Blair has achieved something that Margaret Thatcher failed to do: he has made me ashamed to be British.
As far as I can see, there is no real difference between what Blair, Bush and Aznar are doing in the Middle East and what Hitler and the Axis forces did in Europe in the 1930s. Already there is talk in the media here about which country -- Syria or Iran -- will be next.
At the very least, we British must never forgive these war-mongering politicians or their parties for this genocidal obscenity. Never was it more obvious that our "leaders" are just liars and murderers. At election time, we must stay at home.
