Found Richard Bransen's comments shed light on what I and many others from the general public suspected was happening in the lead up to Iraq war. But I was most annoyed with our politicians in Australia and those in England who just regurgitated the emotive messages coming from Bush administration. We are not idiots, we need DETAILED INFORMATION if we are to back up our politicians on such an important decision they have made on our behalf. I looked on in disbelief and wondered who our own Australian politicians were listening to, or more to the point NOT listening to say so little at the time. My questions then and now are, how can I personally make a difference in making a change for the better,and how can we ensure our politicians make more informed decisions>
