To paraphrase Nick Cohen (speaking of the Palestinian resistance), just what kind of Iraq do these supporters of "the resistance" wish to see?<BR/><BR/>Morons like Milne and Neil Clarke remind me of the famous movie scene in which James Dean is asked what he is rebelling against, to which he answers, "What have you got?".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-51826946536600917252007-08-22T14:27:00.000+01:002007-08-22T14:27:00.000+01:00A great point Graeme.

He gave the following quote, which I quite like:<BR/><BR/>"In the particular dwells the tawdry. In the conceptual dwells the grand, the transcendent, the everlasting."<BR/><BR/>Doesn't this really get to the heart of the issue? It's really easy to praise the so-called resistance when you live in London and have a well-paid job in journalism and don't actually have to deal with the consequences of this "resistance".Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375230713040998061noreply@blogger.com
