In today's paper Fred Halliday credited Hannah Arendt and Isaac Deutscher with 'moral clarity' over Israel. It's good to see some people taking back these words.
Ending the war becomes appeasement if we need endless (limited, as opposed to the other sort) war.
Maybe independant thought becomes appeasement. It would become so, I'm sure, in the event of a major terrorist attack here
The amounts of money involved in the contracts are stunning, reflected in the Halliburton share price increase from $22 to $74 over the 3 years to July 06. $12.3 billion in contracts in the last 5 years. War is profitable enough.
The Prime Minister's son has/had a consultancy with Halliburton.
