...writing this column while in my living room watching Gordon Ramsay's new reality-based series Kitchen Nightmares. My wife is not very happy with me. As we spend some time together each evening watching television, my trusty MacBook Pro sits only a few inches away from me, beckoning me to get online and open a web browser.

Iraq sank Tony Blair, and now it's dealt a heavy blow to his successor, Gordon Brown.

(He took over as Britain's Prime Minister from Tony Blair in June without an election.) Most Britons thought they knew what Brown would decide. After all, the Labour party had for years been substantially ahead of its nearest rivals, the Conservatives, in opinion...
