The War Ticker has alerted me to this Channel 4 special on Iraq, called BREMNER BIRD AND FORTUNE - XMAS SPECIAL - Between Iraq and a Hard Place, which goes into great detail about the history of Britain, Iraq, and imperialism, using live reporting, reconstructions, and archival footage.
And, er, did we tell you it's a COMEDY?
Apparently, you can make sarcastic comments, poke fun at world leaders, shine a sardonic light on hypocrisy, and generally cause havoc on British TV, and not be hounded by mono-brow Freepers, receive death threats, or have all your sponsors pull out and shut your career down. Funny that.
Rory Bremner has been a stand-up comic and impersonator for some time now. His Bush is pretty crappy, but his Blair is quite dead on. You can watch the entire episode at the site, as long as you have Real Player. Go on, you need a laff. We'll all be radioactive soon!
