I wrote out a rather lengthy opening blog this morning, then saved it as a draft. Alas, the draft has gone into the ether, perhaps never to return.
I started by reflecting on the 60th aniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, digressing to a journey I made there three years ago. That got me thinking somewhat about war in general and the Iraq imbroglio in particular. Musing about missing WMD's and mendacious politicians just got me worked up, so I jumped tack again and wondered aloud whether Francis Fukuyama had repented of his view that 'history had ended'. Not likely, I suspect.
So I've saved you the trouble of wading through this glutinous mess by way of short summary, which I trust will be published........
