Thought of the Day

It is 75 years to the day since Britain declared war on Adolf Hitler's Germany two days after his armies had invaded Poland.

A couple of Thoughts, therefore, on War:

"There never was a good war, or a bad peace."
Benjamin Franklin, September 1783

And perhaps the most apt comment about the pretext for a more recent conflict:

"They found more dangerous chemicals in Coca-Cola's Dasani mineral water than they did in the whole of Iraq."
Robin Cook, 29th August 2004
