Apologies for not having sent this earlier: Amongst our cards this season was one from Severo Ornstein, son of Leo Ornstein (1893--2002), well-known composer, and Laura Gould, daughter of Dick & Emma Lehmer, well-known mathematicians. (``Emma remains exactly the same at 96 -- strong and well, walking in the park, feeding her increasing horde of fat squirrels, ...'') Inside is a cartoon of Bush shouting `Yahoo' and riding a missile labelled `Iraq or bust!' and the following (Dr. Strangelove revisited): Sing this song to the tune of ``If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands'' If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are Saudi And the bank takes back your Audi And the TV shows are bawdy, Bomb Iraq. If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq. And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq. If the smokin' gun ain't smokin' We don't care, and we're not jokin'. That Saddam will soon be croakin', Bomb Iraq. While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq. Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq. If the ozone hole is growing, Some things we prefer not knowing, Though our ignorance is showing, Bomb Iraq. So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq.

From his favorite little laddyy, bomb Iraq. Saying no would look like treason. It's the Hussein hunting season. And it's oil that is the reason, Bomb Iraq.
