“Forget if it’s working or not, the model is good.”

Or: how to get in deeper. Interesting article in today’s Toronto Star, Why U.N. is a target; Tuesday’s bombing of civilian aid workers in Baghdad signals a dramatic escalation, by Lynda Hurst. Lots of detail and background. She quotes Maurice Strong, a Canadian businessman who has in the past acted as a special for the U.N. Secretary-General: “Iraq was not a terrorist threat before the war, Strong pointedly notes, ‘but the U.S. has now made it a centre of terrorism. There’s the paradox.’“ Advisors in Washington, meanwhile, recommend committing more troops, according to “the model” of previous campaigns, viz. Afghanistan. Makes you wonder.

  2. I think all the women in the entire region should be allowed to emigrate, and the men can have the game all to themselves.
