War coming

David Milliband writes in the Guardian. Is he making a play for the leadership? Who knows, who cares?

The important issue is the complete failure to agree on World Trade. People who went to Seattle all those years ago will have their way, globalization is on the wane, protectionism is going to surge.

I know let's have a consultation on whether or not you want to lose your job. Let's build some aircraft carriers so as to prepare for war. We must be prepared. As for nuclear weapons if parliament had not voted to fund the programme all those scientists would have to be paid off. What does happen to nuclear scientists when we have no nuclear weapons, they get transferred to designing and constructing nuclear power stations?

There is a dark cloud on the horizon, the storm clouds are gathering and it will not be war as in WWI, or WWII, it will be different but the way we are going is just so like the days leading to the Great War. The politicians have failed and I don't think they have a clue.

I know that I may be seen as going over the top with my prediction but whoever thought that the destruction of the World Trade Center would happen. When the American election is over the politicians will have to deliver, only they won't be able to, all this talk of change, you cannot be serious.
