ACF, without doubt, it is a family feud. Writ large. The Bushes are winning, though I'm not sure about the gene pool [Bush versus Saddam's] as the Bushes don't have a lot of offspring whereas the Tikritis breed like bunnies. How about Osama's efforts, with several wives on the go? Heaps of offspring. No wonder King George II is frustrated [one wife and a couple of kids - he has pent up energy to release]. I've thought for a long time that George's main motivation is personal. Not only in relation to Saddam, but in relation to his father too. Good old Oedipus. It's all been done to death for centuries in literature and literally to death in reality. Shakespeare covered all this stuff [if what people tell me about his stuff is correct]. The whole British royal family is just the reverberation of such family feuds down through the centuries, with a patina of pretentiousness to give it stateliness. That's just how people are. As you say, democracy is just the French Revolution in another form, which is quite icky too, but it's my preference for now. Plus ca change, Mqurice
