Asked if that included the use of force, Bush replied: “As I say, all options are on the table. The use of force is the last option for any president and you know, we’ve used force in the recent past to secure our country."




It sounds gloom , but here's how i see it .


So there we go , the hot summer of 2005 draws to a close , disengagement of Gaza turns into reality .A mother takes on the president having truth on her side .A political shift has begun in the empire du jour ...I was flying in from London yesterday and this NATO officer who works at shape next to me , admitted that if faced with the november 2004 question again he would no vote for Bush .Explaining that it was the budgetary insanity and the wretched energy bill ,not a sudden love for liberal life' which made him see the light .'I joked he should be happy liberals aren't a vindictive sort .....i think he smiled ....but then again you can never tell .


Now another autumn is at our doorstep , another dozen or so political battles to be fought .But the lines are becoming clear , it's the story of ages , and here in the 21st we might do it right ,....or so my inherited anglo-saxon belief in happy endings tells me .

in short , Il Buono ,Il brutto E il Cattivo all over again
