So Bush wants to bring peace and stability to the Middle East – what a laugh!? What do lame duck leaders and retired politicians do, they go to the Middle East in search of peace? Blair and now Bush being the most recent examples. Has Bush just learnt about the Palestinian problem? Things may have been very different had he started here rather than in Afghanistan, post September 11. The hypocrisy and front that our leaders so often display staggers me. Staggers me. Yet it continues apace and right under our noses, one can only hope that the ‘mood for change’ that seems to be sweeping the developed world – Rudd, Sarkozy, Obama (maybe) – will lead to actual change and a more long sighted, fair and humanitarian view of the world.

England hasn’t embraced radical change yet. How’s life under Blair’s crony?
Blair represented radical change for Britain in 97. I’m still living in Australia but I feel that Brown is suffering from an inferiority complex – having not been elected/mandated. He’s got to be worried about this mood for change though.
