Re Kevin Marks' remarks on the Guardian: I'm a long-time reader of the Guardian, and I have never, ever seen articles praising Palestinian suicide bombers, or supporting the IRA. They've certainly given space for op-eds to people who do support such things, but that's not the same, is it? (It's also a healthy sign of a free press, something you Americans may no longer be readily acquainted with nowadays.)

And the last time I looked, the Daily Torygraph's circulation was falling gently as the Tory party's faithful die off or forget how to read from senility (at around 25, mostly), and is now only 2.5 times more than the rising Grauniad. (And if you want a real buzz, look at the list of which newspaper websites are most visited, and rated most influential? You'll find the Guardian at the top!)

As for Patrick's original piece, from over here, it looks to be right on the money. How on earth can the USA claim any kind of leadership in the world with such incompetents in the White House?
