Ooooh! Kevin. I am so embarresed at your comments.

I must appologise to those that thought that my past and documented history was pure war mongering, I mean, there was I in the 1970's calling for Sanctions against South Africa, and boycoting South African products, before it became fashionable to do so.

Ooops, and my past membership of the Connolly Society, was of course a pure example of my support of English Imperialism.

Oh, and my boycott of Chilean Produce post 1973 was intended to show my support for the dictatorship. Actually I think I may have posted on the 'Cat over the Pinochett affair suggesting that Pinochet, should be returned to Chile, in a wooden box

I also made my self very unpopular in loeftish circles in the early 1990's suggesting that Allied forces should have driven on to Bagdhad, using tactical nukes to get Saddam if neccessary. I suspect over the last few years the loss of life would have been less than has actually occured.

I must confess to a disregard for the mantra's of the left, but I have one incurable fault. I believe in the art of the possible, and what is morrally right, can not be legally wrong.

Which makes me a maverick / War Monger / pro capital punishment etc ? - Well so be it - I sleep easy.
