"We have to fight the terrorists over there, so we don't have to fight them over here" George Bush
That's right. If you have to make an omelette it might as well be with Iraqi eggs. The defence of the success of the the troop surge in the US congress has pretty much said 'it's bad for Iraqis but it's the best thing for the safety of US citizens'. On the radio yesterday a former US diplomat was asked why they support Pakistani military dictator Colonel Musharraf. His answer was that the safety of US citizens was more important than the democratic rights of the Pakistani people. Cue the longest pause ever heard on the pm programme as presenter Eddie Mair was shocked into silence by the abrupt answer.
