Bush and Blair are in a tiny minority. The Azores summit last month saw just four leaders gather out of the world's 191 states. Even on these mid-Atlantic islands they could not escape anti-war protesters.
Bush and Blair can not even claim to speak decisively for their own people, never mind the people of Iraq or the rest of the world.
Gallup polls in Britain showed only 15% support for a nuilateral assault on Iraq, and there was only a bare majority in the USA.
The war against Iraq is one of the most undemocratic acts in human history.
I leave it to a great American to sum up this war:
"With its banner of the Prince of Peace in one hand and its loot-basket and its butcher-knife in the other"
