From Bliss to Reality
Having spent 10 days in Tunisia having a wonderful time away from reality it was depressing to return back to the news.
The world is a much sadder place and ordinary people suffering due to the elites stupidity.
Two Britons among dead in Iraq as constitution deadline looms
Car bomber hits Iraqi police patrol
Iraq fires top Sunni official
so Mr Bush and Blair how is Iraq any better? Seems to me it remains a clusterfuck of misery and death.
Meanwhile in Bush's friends country....
Execution Looms for Mother of Three ~ freedom on the march eh Bush'n'Blair!
If western leaders want to stop the source of 'terraism' their target should be Saudi Arabia. Its all very well chucking foreign students out of the Pakistani madrases but it is the Saudis who fund them, go after Saudi and your half way there. Invading Iraq was a stupid mistake of which Bush and Blair are unable to see the consquences of their actions, they event let Bin Laden slip through their fingers at Tora Bora through sheer incomptence. It only furthers strengthens the hand of 'terrarists', we are creating problems for our future. Its history repeating itself, Bin Laden and his bunch of not so merry men are a product of Cold War policy, who recived much of their traning in Afghanistan fighting against the Russians with western backing especially from the CIA, granted Iraq is not totally the same but certain elements are repeating itself.
The whole idea of preventive war is stupid as well. Its a case of 'I will decided to burgle your house in case you burgle mine'.
Since this is the land of realpolitiks Saudi remains untouched due to her oil so nothing will change same goes for the various central Asian despots.
Bush and Blair are a classic example of imperial hubris and would be well advised to study the case of Croesus of Lydia who in a fit of hubris thought he could defeat Cyrus the Great of Persia, instead he destoryed his own empire.
The Ancient Greeks were great believers in Hubris and Nemesis

In the Greek tragedies Nemesis appears chiefly as the avenger of crime and the punisher of hubris
