We know that Iraq is a mess, and making the world a greater mess. We hear rumours of a move on Iran, with no troops left in the caddy, so we'll have to go unconventional.
Never mind the US battlegroups poised in the Gulf. Think of the caller to BBC Radio 4 last week who asked what the point of Trident was if we couldn't nuke Iran. No obvious sense of irony. No recognition of the fallout problems, including those for British forces next door in Iraq.
Tony Blair might have to join the Kissinger/Rumsfeld club of people who neglect to arrange lecture tours in countries with inappropriate extradition arrangements. But what about Belgium, where you can be prosecuted for war crimes committed elsewhere? Be careful.
I don't want the leader of my country to be dragged off to the International Criminal Court. Not because I think he's done no wrong, but because I'm uncomfortable about my country being a pariah. And if you follow colonialism and slavery and the mangling of the middle east in the inter-war years with the current muscular interventionism, you can see my problem.
And yet you look at all the other world leaders and decide either that a good dozen of them should be prosecuted straight away, or that we let the lot of them get away with it. Or that humanity wasn't a very good idea in the first place. Impeach God!
[this is good] I am not as bold as you to want to impeach God, but I wouldn't mind calling on God to help cleanse the earth of human rubbish. He may choose conversion or He may not. I think He knows best. I did see a bomb casing with the words, "God's Coming" written on it. I don't know what kind of bomb it was but it was pretty big. Maybe that's the answer.
