On a different tack, I found a nice quote above : -

"I think it's diffcult to reason with somebody who is intent on destroying your culture and occupying your country especially in the case of an authoritarian regeime with WMDs and a huge army."

It seems to apply in quite a number of situations.

Even, to my chagrin (since I am not an IRA supporter) Ireland.

And more if you redefine WMDs to include economic WMDs.




As to the shoes, Bliar (I like that coinage) usually seems to have a few cards up his sleeve. I wonder what the comeuppance will be.
