The Crucible

Over a year ago, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that Iraq had become a "crucible" in the so called "war against terror".

The slaughter of around 200 people in Iraq yesterday, by terrorists, certainly confirms Blair's statement.

However, the unasked/unanswered question is this:

Did the people of Iraq want their country turned into a crucible?

As Blair's friend said:

"Mission accomplished!"
