Yikes!) comment When this was happening I wasn't paying attention. I can vaguely remember 2003.  Think I was really, really depressed back then, thinking how sh*t my life was.  LOL. It actually wasn't as crap as I thought it was.  It just seemed that way.  Wish I could go back in time.  Time's going way too fast for me. Anyway, I don't think I turned on the TV that year, so I missed out on the war news.  Not that I would have cared back then.  It was so remote it may as well have been war on Mars. I'm probably a bit more aware these days, but I'm probably as self involved as ever. I'm shocked looking at this list of British MPs who voted for invasion of Iraq. Look at how much power very, very ordinary and fallible everyday local politicians are granted, simply by being elected into positions of power by the electorate.   And just think about the potential for abuse that power and the importance, in that case, of accountability and transparency in government ... which is where WikiLeaks comes in.
