You know perfectly well, my dear WIZEB, that I agree with Desmond Tutu on the issue of Blair and friends over Iraq, and have been saying so for some years.
Doesn't make Moore's comments re the embassy any less stupid, however. Which is a shame, because he's so absolutely spot on on a number of things.

He's a political activist mate.
That's what they tend to do.
Have an opinion like.

| Quote: Hull White Star "My American father died alone, in a motel room, of bowel cancer. He was a truck driver therefore self employed. For some reason none of us can fathom, (other than affordability) he didn't have health insurance. I had seen him, suffereing, a few months before he died but because he was a very private man I didn't know the extent of his illness. He was 55 years old.
I do believe, caught early enough, bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers. Had he lived here in the UK, I would still have my dad. He died not because his cancer was untreatable but because he didn't have the means to pay for treatment. In a country like America, this is despicable.'"
My own dad is just recovering from bowel cancer, he is 60. It was caught fairly early a year ago and is now well on his way to recovery.
While his treatment and care were by no means perfect he did have access to a very good standard of care for which I am very grateful.

| Scarrie;
we may be divided by colours, but all the best to your dad, hope he gets down to the KC next season. some stories on here that show how special/important the NHS is, lets keep it that way. To me, it's very strange how Americans see a NHS style thing can be so bad.

I haven't a problem with opinions as long as they're based on facts.

It's because they have not known any different and prior to 1948, neither did we.
Before the NHS people died simply because they couldn't afford a doctor, in fact many never even got to become people, simply because there were no trained midwives available, unless you could afford them.
As others have already stated, the seemingly invincibility of youth comes into play: "I'm fine, why should I pay for others?" They conveninetly ignore the fact that they will not always be young, fit and active

Admirably 'utopian'.
Ballocks makes the world go round.
He's probably far more factual than many others in higher political office.
That's why he can be.
Here's one then...........
How many hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were lost because of these two lying?
Suppose it was just them putting their spin on it?
At least we've democracised Iraq.

I never mentioned either of them, are you suggesting he can spin how he wants because others do?

No, just that the world we now live in virtually depends upon it, and that anybody who doesn't get that, is ridiculously naive.

| I know it's part of the world, I just don't like it.
And I don't expect to watch films that are virtually propaganda.
