This man appears to be charmed.
Nothing must be allowed to make this man look a failure.
He must smell of roses.

As the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary, David Miliband appeared to have failed miserably after the Chinese government went ahead and executed a British citizen for drug smuggling yesterday, dismissing his request for clemancy.
Akmal Shaikh, 53, a father-of-three from London, died on Tuesday despite claims that he was mentally ill.In a statement, his family said China's officials had "made a mockery of appeals for clemency" and ignored pleas for a mental health assessment.Britain has condemned the execution but China rejects the criticism.
After the execution by lethal injection, the Chinese Embassy in Britain said Mr Shaikh's rights "were properly respected and guaranteed" and British concerns were "duly noted and taken into consideration".

Wow! Surprise!Here we are roughly 12 hours later and David Miliband triumphs on tv, radio and in the press because Peter Moore has been released alive after more than two-and-a-half years in captivity in Iraq.
"Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the IT consultant from Lincoln, who was captured in Baghdad in May 2007, was in good health and "absolutely delighted".

Hmm, do I believe in coincidences in politics?
No! Do you?
By the way, I will not be removing Peter Moore's name from this site's In Memorium section because three of his colleages are dead and the fourth is still missing.
