'I wonder if Blair is praying for a way out. Bin Laden would say that he prays the wrong way - but what would one expect of a "designer Christian"?'(Opinion)(Tony Blair got UK involved in illegal invasion of Iraq)
Article Abstract:
If Tony Blair had spent more of his time listening to the advice of reasonable people, he might not have been so keen to get the United Kingdom involved in an illegal invasion of Iraq. It is argued that the situation that the UK and the United States find themselves in at present is reminiscent of the situation the US faced in Vietnam in 1967, and that what is needed now is the same sort of dissenting voices from within that the US faced at that time.

Article Abstract:
An analysis of language education in schools in the United Kingdom. It is argued that, if the key to language education is to start off at as young an age as possible, then surely one solution would be to ship the children off to other countries where they would hear the language being spoken, or if this is not feasible, then to immerse the children in the sights and sounds of the culture they are trying to absorb.
