Do we need conflict to preserve the fabric of our society?  Or maybe the American society.

With a history of bloody civil war, and probably more firearms per capita than any other country….things could get messy if citizens turned on each other.  Does America fear itself more than it’s enemies?

We looked on the cold war as a bad time….but it was a good time, few wars, no major ones anyway.  Now the Eastern block are our buddies who we holiday with, we need a new enemy.  And that’s in the desert, far from home.

So I propose the formula ; enemy + population = civil war

As Tony Blair gets ready to go in June – Gordon Brown is ready to start.

But was Gordon Brown always the man for the job?  Maybe the fact he didn’t have a family 10 years ago through some doubt on how he could relate to the voters….for all we know he could have been a cross dresser.  But now he’s ‘legitimised’ himself with a wife and kid, he could well be the right stuff for the electorate.

In any case, I doubt he’ll reverse any of the disaster Tony has stored up for him…..
