Denys,
I was just reporting the fact that he resigned. He sent a formal letter to
his boss, Tony Blair. How he resigned from his marriage is not within the
scope this issue. At least she wasn't in the hospital recovering from cancer
surgery when she was served with divorce papers.
As to Mr. Cook's corruption etc all I can say is that up until yesterday he
was a loyal and valuable member of the Blair cabinet. Now that he quit he is
a corrupt SOB. He was just as pro-war and just as arrogant as his boss. I
did not mention his resignation to hold him up as a hero. I mentioned it to
show that even the someone as politically astute, someone as conservative as
Tony Blair, someone that has supported the war mongering, someone like Robin
Cook realizes that there are some major problems with going to war without
the UN's blessing or the populace's support.
This Stalinist need you have to purge they unfaithful ill becomes a
conservative such as yourself. When are you ever going to accept that
sometimes your guys do wrong some times the other guy's guys do right.
Hitler was a from the right wing. He was an arch-conservative. Just because
you are a conservative and don't want conservatism sullied does not make
Hitler a leftist. It also does not follow that all conservatives are
Fascists just because Hitler was a conservative and a Fascist.
There is more than one dimension to everything.

Subject: RE: Robin Cook Resigns
Is this the same Robin Cook who, a few years back, publicly announced he was
divorcing his wife before informing her of his
decision, so that he could marry his secretary? Is this the same Robin Cook
who was later the subject of a tell all book penned by
his ex-wife, in which she detailed his affairs (was it 6?) his drinking
problem, and sundry other issues?
I would say that Mr. Cook's maneuver is similar to one used recently by the
ex-governor of Illinois, George Ryan who, as he was
leaving office under a huge cloud of corruption and other scandals, commuted
the death sentence of all Illinois death row inmates to
jail terms. In one fell swoop, everyone forgot how bad this guy was.
