> Brits Don't Follow Blair Down Road To War

> Letters To The Editor:
> In view of inaccurate claims that Europe is moving
> towards favoring war with Iraq, I think you should
> hear from the horse's mouth.
> Without any doubt, the United Kingdom is the European
> country most inclined to support war. Indeed, our
> leader, Tony Blair, has made his position quite clear,
> but he has failed signally to convince the British
> people that this is either wise or moral.
> Except for the Chief Rabbi, all the church leaders in
> the United Kingdom have made their opposition quite
> clear.
> I heard a poll on TV on Jan. 8 state that 85 percent
> of polled people oppose the war. That would reflect my
> own experience. No one I know believes that Iraq is a
> threat to either the U.S. or the U.K. No one believes
> that there is any connection between Iraq and
> al-Qaida.
> Almost everyone I know thinks that President George W.
> Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair confuse their own
> propaganda with reality.
