The Hard Left consistently claim that the insurrection in Iraq is due to PEOPLE POWER. They have romantic notions of the oppressed proletariat of Iraq rising up against the United States oppressor.
They deny that Al-Qaeda is intimately involved in terrorist attacks against coalition forces, Iraq people themselves and is fanatically opposed to the international community represented by the United Nations becoming involved in the rebuilding of Iraq as a free democratic society. ... read full story / add a comment

There's a cranky old Judge called Joe Mangan
Who would love the return of the hangman
He's a cranky old bollix
and an old alcholic
He'll have to make do with a Clare-ban

Now some folk might think it unfair
To be banned from the County of Clare
But this rude little sod,
In his court, thinks he's God
So be careful, my friends what you wear

You'd better not voice an opinion
While sitting in Mangan's dominion
And speak not of Hussein
for it drives him insane
You'll be set upon by Garda minions

Just to prove he's an absolute spanner
he will confiscate anti-war banners
then he'll bellow and roar
and he'll show you the door
and complain about YOUR lack of manners!
