...Tony Blair thought his re-election would put the Iraq war behind him, George Galloway is determined to prove him wrong. The newly elected M.P. for the antiwar, socialist Respect party has called the collapse of the Soviet Union "the biggest catastrophe of my life"; has told Saddam Hussein, "Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability"; and was expelled from the Labour Party for - among other reasons - saying Blair and George W.

The opening stages of the game, in which a player must eat or be eaten by other microbes, is a deliberate homage to Pac-Man. Later...
Bush’s very public pro-democracy stance on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is not likely to win friends in Moscow, where, last month, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that President Putin had become too powerful and ought to respect democracy.
