"When philosophy paints its grey in grey then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk." -- G.W.F. Hegel, 'Preface', Philosophy of Right.

'Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainity and agitation distinquish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones ... All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned.' Marx

political seduction « Previous | |Next »
September 12, 2006

When its time to go in politics there is often little choice available --you go. Hanging around can be very painful as Margaret Thatcher discovered, and as Tony Blair is currently experiencing. And the media love a good political bustup.

Blair is currently doing a 3 day tour of the Middle East talking peace, even though his unpopularity among world leaders is surpassed only by President Bush and the Israeli premier, Ehud Olmert. So there he was in the Middle East, having lost the trust of the Palestinians and the Shiite Lebanese because of his unequivocal pro-American/pro Israeli line.

The whispers are saying that Blair can restart the Middle East peace process to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict .
