...cauldron of postwar Iraq, as the recent massive car bombing in the unofficial Kurdish capital of Kirkuk and the beheading of three Kurds by insurgents have gruesomely illustrated. These two vile acts are merely small additions to the long list of outrages suffered since the removal of Saddam Hussein. Kurds stand out as targets not only because of their ethnicity and language, but also because of their staunchly pro-American actions. The Kurds are deeply grateful for America’s creation of the “no fly zone,” which enabled them to enjoy at least...
...annual conference, a forum where Blair usually shines, he had to placate grumpy delegates with a tepid semi-apology for the Iraq war; "I acknowledge and accept" that the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction was wrong, he said, but "I can't, sincerely at least, apologize for removing Saddam."

After all, he’s the one who did the work, and Saddam got the credit. That’s like plagiarism, only maybe a lot worse...
