Listening to other points of view is so important in a healthy democracy.
Sometimes this is forgotten what a freedom this is.
To be shouted down and called names or smeared is not right.
But of course the freedom to be stupid is still a freedom of sorts.
Politics is a dirty game,sometimes moral issues have to be put aside
to get the end result.
I know "TBW"worked with Chilli's government during our dispute
with Argentina.Even though it was a right wing dictatorship,
With dreadful human rights issues
Sometimes the rules have to be bent to achieve the end.
In that case no law was broken and the British government
managed to keep it quiet.
Years later it came out and "TBW"defended her action on the grounds that it saved British lives.Ends justifying means and all that.
It seems to me that the Bush administration is not too good
at covering it's tracks,thence the name calling.
At the end if it's proven they broke the law,
I don't think it's right that they get away with it.
I know we need the oil in the west,and Britain backing the states
is in my opinion the right thing for Britain.
I just wish it could all be a little more honest and within
the laws of each respective country
