poor old Chamberlain..he allways gets the blame..yet time and time again i read that he bought us enough time to get the country onto a war footing- and that more than likely we would have lost the battle of britain if it had started even as little as 6 months earlier..given the grave circumstances i think Chamberlain was sacrificed to give us time to prepare...
but it was a war against a country.. against an insane political regime..this is a war against terrorism..this is a war against the man next door...every shot fired and every life lost re-inforces the convictions of those on every side..there are times when die-ing for what one believes or making other die for what one believes becomes the very act of terrorism that we need to stop...it makes a mockery of everything we have been brought up to believe.....

But what is lost sight of is the central moral issue of our times: a humane democracy mired in an asymmetrical war is trying to protect itself against terrorists from the 7th century,

our technology is in the here and now...our beliefs are 7th century..
dunno how but that has got to change
