After almost nine years as prime minister, Blair has begun losing touch with reality,

When it's time to confess, you don't know what you're saying. Are you telling the truth, or do you confuse your lies with reality? The question is comical. The answer is lost in the maelstroms of consciousness. It's even impossible to pretend, eventually, that the question wasn't asked. You've been kidding yourself about yourself for so long, you're someone else. Your you is just a fragile fabrication. Every morning, you have to wake up, assemble this busy, dissembling monster, and get him or her on his or her feet again for another round of fantasy.

There is no reason for punitive measures. There is no obvious evidence of non-compliance with the non-proliferation regime. There are statements which are taken by experts skeptically, and there are some warm-up dances. And that's all.

We do not want to see American bombers flying over Iran.

Let's just imagine that we adopt it and today we issued that statement ? then what happens after two weeks?

Of course it will not be automatic procedure, ... It will be based on concrete and specific requirements by Iraqi authorities, of course. So that is why I feel that we should come to a solution which is acceptable to everybody.
