The despair of politics

Thu, 2007-01-18 08:25 — pas

Persuasive political writing (of a kind I am able to stomach these days) appears toward the end of Rory Stewart's, The Places in Between.  Bookended by his personal testimony of walking through Afghanistan only two weeks after the new (US puppet) "government" had been established, this passing indictment of the window-dressing/McEnlightenment model of international intervention casts a far longer, darker shadow than it would have otherwise.  Readers are invited to read my quasi-review (of the phenomenon of "maverick" journalists) at pas au-delà.

Happy New Year to all, but especially to Nick.
