Not quite an eye for an eye but at least a tooth for a tooth

UN WEAPONS inspector Hans Blix would have a tricky task in locating Robin Cook’s front tooth.

The former British Government minister, who resigned over the lack of justification for war in Iraq, lost the tooth en route to the Labour Party conference in Dublin.

Unfortunately, he swallowed it, so the tooth is unlikely to be discovered for a while unless Mr Blix is sent in on an inspection, upon Tony Blair's directions, of course.
