Garden/nature feature re-launches today
Patience pays off
Friday garden blogging will be called Friday nature blogging this year. The past week revealed some splendid summer-like weather. It is turning into the best May in three years, the last two being plagued by interminable stretches of rain.
It took over an hour to get the picture–gives me great appreciation for good wildlife photographers.
Blair says, “I did what I thought was right”
If he thinks that now, two-thirds million killings and the creation of four million refugees in Iraq during the Bush/Blair war reveals that Mr. Blair’s moral failure is utterly contemptible and he has zero insight into the rot of his own condition.
Patrick Cockburn sums up Blair pretty well today:
For four years he has nailed British colours to a failed US policy over which Britain has no significant influence. He has advertised a humiliating British dependency on Washington without gaining any advantages.
As for Iraqis, despite all his rhetoric about rescuing them from Saddam, he has been surprisingly indifferent to their fate.
