Bush and Blair diminish themselves daily with their continuing insistence on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. It is as if they are reincarnations of Lord Curzon, British viceroy of India.
A century ago, Curzon convinced himself that Tibet was filled with Russians and Russian weapons, and had become a threat to British India. Curzon sent off an invasion force that managed to slaughter several hundred Tibetans but failed to find any Russians or weapons. By humiliating the hitherto impenetrable mysterious country, Curzon opened the door for the Chinese. In the same way, Bush's invasion of Iraq has flung open the door for terrorism.
