Warmonger Max Hastings bleats: Deep Anger at Bush: "Among the British people today, there is a deep anger towards the Bush administration for entangling us in a predicament which it is mishandling grotesquely. Anger seems entirely justified, so long as we do not extend it towards Bush’s country, where many people share it."

Evidently Hastings can distinguish between the US government and the US people, but, remarkably, vision fails closer to home, in the very same paragraph, a minor classic of falling victim to the propaganda system. This paragraph would make more sense if he said "among the British people today, there is deep anger at the Blair Government for entangling us in a predicament which is being grotesquely mishandled." Blair is a war criminal who should be behind bars. Warmongering propagandists like Hastings and organs like the Spectator who played a crucial role in making the war possible should also be called to account.
