Guidelines for a Better World Laws are like sausages — it is best not to see them being made. Perhaps I should re-phrase this as: The Rules of Law and International Diplomacy are like sausages — it is best not to see them being made It’s a strange world out there. Two recent political events [...]

It’s funny how things change and how the world has different perceptions of a people. You see, people have long memories. Somali Pirates Vow Revenge on U.S., France on Rescues – is the news currently. Also, the Somalis have taken pot-shots at a US politician in Mogadishu according to Voice of America. This all flies [...]

In the news today, although you’d hardly think so because of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict, is the story that the Ukraine can’t pay their gas bills. I apologise for it being a bit buried amongst the profits’ statements etc, but hey!, I didn’t write it. BBC – Gazprom sees profits jump by 85% GazProm [...]

My previous post, just before I went on a short break, warned that the Olympics might become a side-show in a widening chain of events. This has turned out to be true.
