End of Day Review of News. War, war everywhere it seems- British troops to patch up a botched job in Kosovo after dozens of recent deaths on the UN's watch (what they don't mention is that this is no isolated incident). Pakistani troops surrounding 'Bin Laden's No2'- or so the Pakistani authorities say. Bombs in Basra and Bombs in Baghdad. Arrests in Spain. I always think about friends who haven't backed much or any of this. Kind of feel like they blame me, but I (and those I support) didn't start the fire, so to speak. Sometimes the way to put a fire out is counterintuitive- ie. you'd think water, but frequently that's no use.
