No flies on Bush

How do you feel about uranium from Niger? I was on a radio show the other day and some anti-war campaigner …hang on, I should explain for visitors from Planet Zongo that, since the war in Iraq ended, the anti-war movement has massively expanded its operations. In advanced Western democracies, just because the war has stopped is no reason for the ‘Stop the War’ movement to stop. In Washington the other day, the Iranian exiles demonstrating for the end of the Ayatollahs were greeted by a bunch of trust-fund lefties bearing placards saying ‘Hands Off Iran’. But it seems likely this was a spelling error. The anti-war movement is still having way too much fun with Iraq to be in any hurry to move on to Iran.

Anyway, the other day for the umpteenth time in the last week some anti-war type demanded to know how I felt about uranium in Niger.
