We only have to think of the Presidential elections in the US and the news that Tony Blair aims to make terrorism central to his campaign in any General Election in the UK to discover that in George Bush and Tony Blair we have two disciples of Herman Goering the propaganda chief in Nazi Germany who said,
“Of course the people do not want war.
But after all, it is the leaders of the country that determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”
Goebbels, not Goering was the propaganda chief in Nazi Germany.
Is what you write on your web site (this is my first visit), UN policy? Is it really so anti-Bush and anti-Blair?
You blame the US and Britain for lack of interest in Darfur. However, do you support Sudan having been voted onto the UN's Human Rights Commission.
Let's have some objectivity!

What an appalling pile of offensive nonsense. I see no reason for promoters of the United Nations to take a view on the election of Dubya or the upcoming British general election one way or another - outside your remit, I'd've thought. To do so in such a ludicrous manner merely equates you with the whackos in RESPECT or outraged Independent-reading Liberal Democrats on a particularly paranoiac day.
Grow up.
