John Le Carré ^H^H^H^H^H David Cornwell writes:
Maybe there’s one good reason - just one - for re-electing George W Bush, and that’s to force him to live with the consequences of his appalling actions, and answer for his own lies, rather than wish the job on a Democrat who will then get blamed for his predecessor’s follies.
But please don’t feel isolated from the Europe you twice saved. Give us back the America we loved, and your friends will be waiting for you. And here in Britain, for as long as we have Tony Blair singing the same lies as George Bush, your nightmares will be ours.
Give it back to you? Nah, sorry. We took it from you a few hundred years ago, and we’ll be keeping it, thanks.
Dick.
