Prayers and cheers for Tony Blair. A wonderful statesman, I think.
I sport a Union Jack flag license plate replica on my car in his honor and in honor of all our English friends such as you and british chick.
I didn't catch Blair's press conference yesterday. I think if there was a pre-election attack on Britain, the reaction would be pretty similar to that of Spain. Most Brits don't support Blair's involving Britain in Iraq and dislike his close association with Bush. The only thing in his favor is that there is no viable alternative as the opposition parties in Britain "couldn't organise a #@*! up in a brewery." (That may not translate very well for you folks?!)
Thanks Donna, much appreciated.

ACCORDING TO RELIABLE SOURCES ARAFAT IS DEAD.
According to PROCHE ORIENT INFO, a french newspaper, ARAFAT DIES A FEW MINUTES AGO.
The headline says..... ARAFAT HAS DIED A FEW MINUTES AGO.
I know the newspaper; read daily and is reliable source.
