Sport the War on Error

Sport the War on Error When the Wehrmacht invaded Denmark in WWII, the Danes famously announced, We have nothing with which to resist but humour. We shall fight hard! 5jt.com is doing its bit for the present times.

First error in our sights: 5jt.com is pleased to announce the end of the Iraq War. In fact, it ended in 2003 with the collapse of the civil power in Baghdad, since when the victorious invading coalition forces (yay, us!) have been occupying the country. So don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There is no war in Iraq, and there hasn’t been for two years.

While we’re on the subject: there is no War on Terror either. Not if “war” still means something you declare on a country to force certain outcomes, from handing over a province or so to total, utter, abject surrender. By the same token, there are no wars on drugs or poverty either. (Whatever happened to programmes?) So we can all sleep easier in our beds, at least we can as soon as we’ve figured out to what cause our leaders are really recruiting our loyalties and anxieties, and stopped them doing it.

Was the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq merely a technical glitch, a systems failure? See www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk for more information about this.

In today’s news At the Labour Party conference in Brighton an 82-year old delegate, a party stalwart since 1948, shouted Nonsense! during Foreign Secretary Jack Straw’s speech on Iraq, was manhandled out of the conference and detained by the police under anti-terrorist legislation. (BBC report) He has had his conference pass revoked. Let this be a lesson to all those who jeopardise our ancient liberties by daring to exercise them.
