I support Senator Mooney. We should have a debate on the Middle East. Up to 70 people may have been tragically killed in Amman. I have stayed in that hotel, as have many Irish delegations. Another 35 people were killed today in Baghdad. It is clear that Bush and Blair are on the slide. They are responsible for this. They walked us into it but we must prepare for a situation when a more intelligent government may take office in both jurisdictions. I am glad Blair was defeated in the House of Commons yesterday. I am glad the American Republican Party has started to lose governorship races but we must prepare for a new regime and try to give it some advice.
