Mr Sandle said: 'I wasn't going to submit this year, but I suddenly felt overcome
with anger at the way Blair has messed up.
'There he was, elected by a huge majority, and he has allowed his vanity to destroy it all.
'He doesn't appear to feel a twinge of conscience about Iraq because he is so sure that he did the right thing.'
Bushini drawing by Marguerita 2004- (Bush drawings series)
Bosch's(Bush) most famous and unconventional picture is The Garden of Earthly Delights (c.1500; Prado, Madrid)(circa 2003.Washington)) which, like most of his other ambitious works, is a large, 3-part altarpiece, called a triptych. This painting was probably made for the private enjoyment of a noble family.(WE the World) It is named for the luscious garden in the central panel, which is filled with cavorting nudes and giant birds and fruit.(Tanks,soldiers,military trucks) The triptych depicts the history of the world and the progression of sin.(blood) Beginning on the outside shutters with the creation of the world, the story progresses from Adam and Eve and original sin on the left panel to the torments of hell, a dark, icy, yet fiery nightmarish vision, on the right. The Garden of Delights in the center illustrates a world deeply engaged in sinful pleasures.(blood spilling and chaos)
