Tony Blair does it again
Good to see that Tony Blair is still worth every penny* he receives for being Middle East peace envoy. I reckon he might be on to something here when it comes to a solution to the problem that has dogged the world since biblical times…
…if people really want to sort it out, they’ll sort it out…
Rejoice everybody, it’s all over bar the hanging of the bunting. It’s his laser-guided precision – thick with practical detail – that gets me every time. It’s how he managed to leave the likes of Iraq and Afghanistan strong and prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
* He doesn’t get any.

He might have a point there… a lot of conflicts go on not because the original casus belli still exists, but because too many players have too much to lose from the end of the conflict. War’s good for some people (not most). It’s profitable, status-enhancing and often great fun. As an alternative to subsistence farming there’s a lot to be said for it.
