someone backchannelled me:
|but how could bombing Kosovo do anything for Kosovo?
absolutely
but there is a connection
you know, same place
& it's an easy mistake for airheads - I said on the phone yesterday to a
friend that we should have been spending the money wasted on bombs on
schools and industry in Jugoslavia and he said "Lawrence you don't
understand: building schools and industry in foreign countries doesn't
promote growth; but building cruise missiles does; and an exploding cruise
missile promotes more growth than an unexploding cruise missile; we've got
to have growth"
he's right, I think that is how they think...interesting the way the word
growth is used
another interesting word that we shan't be hearing is cowardly
if a bomb goes off in Northern Ireland, the attack is cowardly; if our
government drops a bomb on Belgrade, that's promoting justice
love is hate
