Halliday on the worlds worst ideas

Professon Fred Halliday has written an analysis of what he believes to be the twelve worst ideas in international discourse. On some of his points, I agee completely, on others, he is completely off base. I seem to recall thinking that when I studied his theories properly, but that was a few years ago now.

Israel Vs Lebanon: Ceasefire now

When we set up here, we decided we’d avoid foreign policy. Partially because we wanted to focus on domestic + EU, partially because, well, quagmire. Especially when our Government seems intent on invading the entire Muslim world and supporting Israel regardless of circumstance. Generally, I agree with Garry (as usual). Specifically, I agree with Ming Campbell.On domestic policy, I still have disagreements with the Lib Dems. On foreign policy, I’ve been broadly in agreement for as long as I can remember.
