Okay, I’m not going to do a cheap gag about US and UK intelligence, but what I am going to mention is the big issue of trust. Before the coalition decided to invade Iraq, the world was told, based on information in Intelligence Reports, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and could launch a significant attack in about 45 minutes.
Now we are being told that Iran, isn’t making any WMDs, and if it decided to, it couldn’t do it until about 2015 at the earliest. (That’s the year, not quarter past eight.) And so as I sit here, sipping the rapidly cooling cup of tea, I am not left in a state of peace, assured that the world is a much safer place.
Trust is an important issue and the world seems to be losing it big time.
