USA invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein was selling oil in return for Euros and not the US reserve currency and you knew about that . So to say you thought that it was about WMD is a smoke screen for simple minds.

Dear Guardian, I just had to view an advert for Next (the clothing company) before I could see the most excellent content you provided. Could you please read this article from an eminent newspaper regarding this company:-

May I ask why you are taking money from a company that you yourselves say are "at the centre of a major sweatshop scandal"?

Is this the (in)famous Guardian hypocrisy I wonder??
