 | And, continuing the preamble to yet another set of identical peace march reminiscences, I'm amused by the fact that a number of people here seem to be congratulating Tom on talking perfect sense, and then expressing an opinion utterly unlike his own. It seems that we may be coming hard up against the limitations of weblogging as a way for nation to speak peace unto nation. But it was your big ugly Nazi dog that started it, anyway. Munich-style. Oh yes. Munich-style.
For myself, I am entirely cognizant of the moral case for war. Cruel dictator yadda yada yadda gassed his own people blah blah tried to kill my dad p'ching p'ching. No worries. What I want is a pragmatic case for war and/or régime change, or more precisely a pragmatic case for war as a means of ensuring that weapons of mass destruction do not fall into the hands of groups likely to use them against civilians. By which, of course, I mean British civilians, and specifically me. Just to clear that up.
Meanwhile, though, it is good to see the US taking an active role in international affairs, thus belying those timorous souls who feared that the Bush presidency would be an isolationist one. I hope soon to see them helping out with the AIDS crisis.
