He rarely strays into politics.
Which makes his hard-hitting article in today's London Times on Tony Blair's speech to the Labour Party conference yesterday all the more interesting. You can find it at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,482-1286708,00.html
Excerpt -<<...In sum, Mr Blair, seems to have convinced himself that Iraq and Afghanistan are effectively one country and that al-Qaeda, the Taleban and Saddam Hussein are all the same. Britain's chattering classes haughtily patronise the 60 per cent of American voters who apparently believe that Saddam was behind 9/11. Yet in Britain we now have a Prime Minister whose whole Middle Eastern strategy rests on this same fiction, and whose analysis of global terrorism is so illogical that it makes President Bush sound like Socrates.>>
