What Left? Every whingeing, hand-wringing Labour MP in God's creation is screaming how evil George Bush is and the war shouldn't happen. Maybe it's different in Australia, but here, the Left is against the war, and removing Saddam Hussein.

Of course they are mate, and that's the problem.
Think back a year or two. The Euro Left were dispirited and issue-less. They had no answer to the success of right-wing candidates voted in on a wave of public concern over immigration. Hell, even Norway moved to the right! And now they are coalescing and rediscovering an identity around anti-war activism. It cannot be good for our side to take the focus off the main game of advancing the cause of conservatism- all for this silly Iraqi sideshow. You don't give an enemy as dangerous as the socialists a stick to beat you with. It's just that simple.
