<HTML>I noticed Paul Darrow's name in the credits for Die Another Day too - as the scientist I think, although I'd not recognized him. Not astonishing, given that the last thing I'd seen him was in Blakes 7 (where he definitely did have the best lines).
And just so you know we're not all overly fond of Dubya on this side of the pond either, here's something a friend sent me recently. No clue where she got it:
If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq
by John Robbins
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi, And your alibi is shoddy, And your tastes
remain quite gaudy, Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think that SUVs, Are the best thing since sliced cheese, And
your father you must please, Bomb Iraq.
If the globe is quickly warming, bomb Iraq.
If the poor will soon be storming, bomb Iraq.
We assert that might makes right, Burning oil is a delight, For the
empire we will fight, Bomb Iraq.
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections, Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq.
If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy, And hiding that ain't easy, And your
manhood's getting queasy, Bomb Iraq.
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might now knows no borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason, It's the make war not love season,
Even if we have no reason, Bomb Iraq.</HTML>

<HTML>I don't think Paul was ever actually seen. I'm pretty sure he was the doctor, who is only ever heard. Still, I expect they paid him quite nicely for it, so he would have been happy enough. (He always wanted to be James Bond himself, but I think even he would now admit that he is getting a little past that.)
Found a satirical post today (unfortunately I forgot to copy the URL) purporting to be a copy of a press release in which America admitted it was trying to get Iraq and North Korea to bomb each other. Aaargh. Minsky says it's a great deal easier for cats. If anyone invades your territory, you just duff them up a bit and send them away minus half an ear, and everything is sorted.
I can think of worse things to be than a cat...</HTML>

Indeed, the whole site is worth a good poke about in.</HTML>
