i thought he made some good points about the whole issue of third world debt and he hinted at looking at the causes of terrorism - kind of. he implied that free trade should be free trade. and that the distribution of wealth should be more equal!
basically, he came out with quite a lot of things that i wouldn't have expected him to.
unfortunately, i didn't hear it from the beginning, and didn't take notes. possibly he's trying to placate those amongst us who see the coming military action as pretty negative, which is why he was talking about the concept of 'justice' in the wider sense for the afgan's. he mentioned a lot about the regime that they are forced to live under and linked it into action taked in yugoslavia and that 'rwanda' situations wouldn't be allowed to occur again.
he was really, i suppose, trying to say that the west had a moral mandate to 'look after' the poorer and suppressed peoples of the world. but,......... it kinda smacked of stomping into situations and other governments where the west didn't agree with what went on.
personally, i think he could simply say ' we won't be selling arms to anyone'. rather than implying that drug money from afganistan funded the purchase of arms. yes, but where are they bought from, tony? i hear myself ask.
