but Campbell and Blair think they can continue to treat the nation, the voting public, like mindless idiots and believe everything they say.

You think you got it bad. Here in the States, a similar belief by W's handlers seems to be holding plenty too true, and at least around here anytime anything contrary is spoken, the propaganda auxiliary is on it like a rug. I got to at least give Blair credit for courage in taking what always seemed to be a fairly unpopular stand there. Here, people ate up all the war propaganda right from the start, and the popularity of the war card seemed to be prominent in the minds of the political handlers from the beginning too. Worked good in the '02 elections, and , sadly, it'll probably work good in '04 too. Best I'm hoping for at this point is that the handlers don't decide another war is necessary before '04.
