As you may have guessed from the comic events of the last few years, President Bush’s mad schemes really are going to get us all killed. Well, they’ll get the Iranians all killed, while the rest of us will merely stand a significantly increased chance.

If Mr Blair brings British support to this impending attack, I’ll seriously consider renouncing my UK citizenship. Even if that means I end up having to live in a French airport.

Oh, and a special message to all liberals/moderates who backed Mr Bush on national security grounds despite his obvious corruption, rightwing fanaticism and messianic lunacy: you are to blame for whatever badness happens going forward. There is nothing that John Kerry could conceivably have done in national security policy with worse consequences than attacking Iran.
