Uday and Qusay are killed and the delighted
British and American governments suggest that Iraq
will be a safer place. Yes, the Iraqis may well feel
safer. And - with the dictator's brutal sons out of the
way forever more confident about continuing the
resistance against the American occupiers.

Shortly before their deaths were announced,
Richard Gephardt, Democrat presidential hopeful,
delivered a blistering attack oh Bush's foreign policy
which was driven, he said, by "machismo" and
"arrogant unilateralism". Bush, he continued, had
treated U.S. allies "like so many flies on America's
windshield". He added: "Foreign policy isn't a John
Wayne movie."

The attack on the villa where Saddam's sons were
hiding might be seen as driving home the point;
Instead, the announcement that they had been killed by
the U.S. troops in a shoot-out is welcomed by Tony
Blair as "great news".
