The power of suggestion.
How powerful is suggestion? I was told in the pub the other night of a TV program (or something), where a person bet on a losing horse, and it lost. He then went to the counter and said "This is the winning ticket, could I have my money please", and got it.
It's a bit silly if you ask me, but by the looks of things somebody is trying it on a larger scale.
Yes, Iraq, the boring old subject. Iraq claims that they are winning the war. The US are nowhere near the capital, and they will never take Iraq. Of course my view is biased as I watch UK television so I only get what the military will allow us to see. But it certainly seems that Iraq is relying on the power of suggestion to win the war.
Will we see a victory in Iraq, followed by Iraq saying "er, no, we won, what you talking about?"
