Blinkered vision.

Even if you accept that the US and ourselves had a valid reason for going to war with Iraq, the main criticism seems to be that nobody really gave any thought to what would happen after. Much the same considerations seem to me to apply to the leadership of the Liberal Democrats. Ok so they've got rid of Sir Ming - but what now? Whatever his faults - perceived or real - at least Menzies Campbell was a recognisable face with a distinctive style and a certain amount of gravitas, but other than Charles Kennedy, who else is there with leadership qualities? The two main candidates are political nonentities whose only appeal seems to be that they are younger than Ming. I've a feeling that the LibDems may well regret what they have done.
