I totally agree with you, peana.  It's the sequence of events that are leading to war that I am opposed to - and I find Bush a very disturbing man.  However, what also disturbs me is the fact that our UK leader is joining him.  The UK and US are going to war with Iraq - no question.  And I think the repercussions for that will be far-reaching.

More immediately, I'm worried about the fact that half the British Army appear to have stationed itself around Heathrow airport, particularly since I'm getting on a plane to Thailand from Heathrow on Saturday.  The government tell us they are acting on a real and serious threat 'on the scale of 9/11'.  Just exactly what is this threat?  Shouldn't we be told?  Or is it so serious they fear mass panic if they tell us?

Should I really be thinking about getting all my affairs in order before I leave for my holiday - just in case I get blown out of the sky??
