Re: Something I hadn't noticed (4.00 / 3)

A stunning bit of Brown ignorance. And an important point by the writer that I have referenced before. Although the problem with 5000 years of history combined with the macho mentality is that it depends where you slice history to define freedom fighters or terrorists.

History can't be erased - and it is a catalogue basically of how not to do things. But maybe feuding can be eliminated?

And just to remind you, it's only two years since Netanyahu participated in a ceremony placing a plaque on the building to honour the freedom fighters.

Apparently Obama's staying at the King David as well, where there was just another construction worker/backhoe rampage. I wish the US blogosphere would get on this metaphor.

Re: Something I hadn't noticed (none / 1)

you would have thought that someone at the foreign office would have informed him of the symbolic nature of the place. Especially as half of the fatalities are what if they were in Iraq would be refered to as "Our brave boys" in the UK tabloid media.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
