So, farewell then...

The BBC reports that George W Bush is paying a surprise farewell visit to Iraq. I do hope it's to apologise. Okay, Saddam was a cruel tyrant, but the coalition caught the tiger of insurgency by the tail and it's difficult to see how exactly it can ever hope to extricate itself from the mess it's created other than by leaving a vacuum into which tyrants even worse than Saddam will surely pour. Sorry would be the decent thing to say as Bush walks away from the mess. Nuff said...
