The Eve of war

Well the war may or may not have started but its going to. I was thinking this morning about how events over take nations creating situations like the current one where we almost have no choice but to have the war. I started thinking about how germany got itself into a collision course with the rest of the world in the frist part of last centuary and how people say - "oh that could never happen again" and how in America at the moment George Bush is able to wage this war with little opposition from his own people. Totally co-incidently I came across this. Its a bit of a long read but well worth it. As a matter of interest I do think the situations are different but it is only a small leap to see America going down an ultra right wing road.

The house thing is sorted out and we are moving to Milngavie. This means I will be closer to work and better still closer to the countryside of the west coast. The east coast is boring and everything is miles away. It also means I can have lots of fun with the name of the place - for those of you who don't know - Milngavie is actually pronounced "Mull -guy". Not quite as good as the pronounciation of Luxury Yacht but not bad.
