Dear Stephen

there is nothing I can say in response on the terms you lay down, my
question to you on this, that is your statement, not our private opinions
about whether the Bush-Blair admins really intend to invade or attack Iran,
rather than just indulging in postures, is why say it in the first place if
you are not prepared to discuss it?

I deeply dislike being hijacked by language into sub-fusc political
commentary, I seem to recall that this is a poetry list, a place therefore
for something that is marginalised by the meta-rhetorics of power, why not,
instead of opinining, indulge in that lovely subversive troublesome
difficulty that says this is the easy, the way that lies light on you,
called poetry?

Take Care

Dave
