I stand corrected.
It was Jo Moore, Tony Blair's advisor.
Fair point, John, though it's quite easy to have a 'good war' when your not the one being invaded. It's given him a bounce but he'll come down one day (perhaps quite soon).
Strange thing about war. It has always been a feature of human existence: awful in its short-term cost, yet somehow perversely
beneficial in the longer term - like a sort of demented cleansing
process. that can even "jump start" progress across a wide
spectrum that contrasts with the stagnation and rise of dissent
and dissatisfaction that prolonged peace can bring. Some politicians take advantage of what it offers, that's for sure.
Where’s Dylan when you need him?
I remember that, Kevin. But I thought it was one of Tony Blair’s spinners. Labour were in power then.
Thanks for the Likes, Greg, Holden and Stephen.
I remember when Princess Diana died, and some Tory advisor said today is a good day to bury bad news
..

Thanks for all your thoughts, Graham, Stephen, Kevin and MC.
It is a piss-poor poem but it clothes a big ugly ambition.
