		<title>Looking for a suitable match &#8211; part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I started writing what has now become the first part I did not know that there would be a second part.

		<title>Shock and awe: The war we could not stop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was February 15, 2003. In Toronto it was freezing cold. But the world was running a high fever of protest against the impending U.S. attack on Iraq.
