The Financial Times, for those who are not familiar with it, is the City of London’s equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. While the FT’s editorials are not nearly as Neaderthal as those of the Journal, it worships at the shrine of Saint Thatcher . . . in other words, it is just about as far as you can get from a left-wing rag and still be in Europe.
It recently published an editorial, signed by 52 British former embassadors and members of the foreign policy establishment, arguing that Britain’s blind adherence to the Bush administration’s policies in the Middle East have deeply damanged the UK’s interests abroad.
Reading the editorial on-line requires a subscription (which is worth it), but the below-mentioned A Fistful of Euros published a very pithy quote.
Now that the official line out of Washington DC appears to be, “Everything will be fine, it’s just a few extremists, Saddam was worse, la la la la I can’t hear you,” it’s refreshing to remember that people who actual apply reason to situations still exist in the world.
