During his trip to Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population, British prime minister Tony Blair visited an Islamic boarding school twinned with a school in West Yorkshire.
After singing John Lennon's Imagine and treating the prime minister to displays of silat and joget, the pupils asked Blair questions about his foreign policy.
Apparently, one of the questions was: "Why did you allow your best friend George Bush to persuade you to start a war with Iraq?"
In reply, Blair told the children some waffle about the Iraqi people could now vote, and that he believed "people of different faiths can live together in harmony and peace".
