I am in awe of the marvels of human (selective) perception. I posted that speech to show how an elected member of Britain's state is thinking about the lack of popular support from his nation AND lack of international legitimacy for the imminent invasion of Iraq, which are, after all, his reasons for resignation. Meanwhile, you focus on: (1) You'd expect a "better" (more gung-ho? more sentimental?) speech (2) He didn't say "Saddam is a evil" (3) He blamed Israel Priorities are different for everyone, apparently. I couldn't care less how "good" Cook's speech was, I did not even notice the mention of Israel, and Saddam's character flaws are plain simple irrelevant in a speech where an important British politician is resigning because Blair is pushing the country to war without support at home or abroad in the international community.
