And I wanted to believe.<BR/><BR/>After years of feeling disempowered, of feeling nothing I said nor did made any difference, the hope I felt was overwhelming.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I also knew Tony Blair was a politician, which meant he couldn’t be completely trustworthy, but I wanted to believe so much.<BR/><BR/>Surely this time would be different.<BR/><BR/>Surely this time I could put our cynicism to one side.<BR/><BR/>Surely this time, we had a genuine human being, one of us, in power.<BR/><BR/>Was it the power he had went to his head? Was he always a dodgy bastard who just knew the right words to say and it took until Iraq for us to find out?<BR/><BR/>Either way the idea I should ever have allowed myself to be naïve enough to believe, was finally laid to rest.<BR/><BR/>There are no messiahs, no matter how much I might want otherwise.<BR/><BR/>Good luck America. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>After that, I need a hot chocolate with extra flakeKim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-46530381088562011402008-11-04T18:15:00.000+00:002008-11-04T18:15:00.000+00:00well, just a wee one couldn't hurt.

It's 10am here and I'm wondering whether I should opne it now - not to be premature, you understand, I'm not taking a thing for granted - but becasue I need something to dull my flippy floppy, waggling stomach nerves - beads of alcohol to weigh them down and make me settle into a smiley fug for the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617364317572311350.post-87954410314863546032008-11-04T14:10:00.000+00:002008-11-04T14:10:00.000+00:00Sniffle:He reminds me of Henry in his heyday.
