politics

I am watching the BBC news and the airtime is filled with various European and American heads of Nations talking about the ‘just cause’ and how they must stop Qadafi from killing his own people. The performances were polished and crisp. The first though that hit me was “what underlying sense of power and assurance in the demeanor when war is on”.  It is almost as though the only time the western leaders come really alive is when they are in a war like situation.
