Derb, Stuttaford, am I just overly charmed everytime he speaks on the war on terror or could he save the United Nations from itself? Here he is today, speaking from Iraq:

There surely is only one side to be on in what is now very clearly a battle between democracy and terror.
If Iraq becomes a stable, democratic country and we defeat the terrorism here – which is the same kind of terrorism that we face the world over – if we defeat it here we deal it a blow worldwide.
If Iraq is a stable and democratic country, that’s good for the Middle East and what is good for the Middle East is actually good for the world, including Britain. That’s why it is important for us too.
