You know when something big is happening because the media don't have any new stories. If there is any doubt that the media may endanger the operation because of free access to information, we should all accept their censorship.

Public demonstrations in the UK have dwindled dramatically since the fighting started. There are those who simply oppose any form of war, there are those who are wary of American power in the world.

I am most confused by the Islamic paradox - noone seems in any doubt that Saddam is the antithesis of a good Muslim (he has murdered one million Muslims) yet they do not want him overthrown by force. Can anyone tell me why democracy doesn't take root in so many Islamic countries?
