This isn't directly related to E/C but I'm no fan of Bush and I was ROTFLMAO when I read this. I'm sure others in this forum can appreciate Dawkins' comments.

From <a href="http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foreignaffairs/story/0,11538,770482,00.html" target="_blank">Guardian Unlimited</a>:

Quote:

Richard Dawkins, the writer, biologist and professor of the public understanding of science at Oxford, was also firmly against any US assault: "Obnoxious as Saddam Hussein undoubtedly is, it is not obvious that he is more of a danger to the world than 'President' Bush and his reckless handlers.

"It would be a tragedy if Tony Blair, a good man who has so much to offer this country, were to be brought down through playing poodle to this unelected and deeply stupid little oil spiv," he said.

Gosh, Dawkins, tell us what you really think!

This was not an easy call, given that Dawkins is mostly known for his writings on evolutionary biology, but as the content of the article is purely political and does not dicuss evolutionary biology or creationism at all, I think this belongs in Political Discussions.
