Yesterday Leicester.. today Glasgow.. tomorrow..ahh.. the mind reels..
Reports this morning tell of seven arrests in four cities..London, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.. all foreign nationals and their girlfriends.. and their weapons of mass distruction...
Now it may appear a flip response to a real threat, but terrorists have inspired a wry smile for many on this island for years. It's a wonder that they believe themselves to be forwarding their cause.
But there it is..
Colins' speech yesterday did little to move the French or Germans any further towards agreement with a move against Hussein.. the dissenters still want more time to plod on, more inspections, more churning of the markets..
But Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon's jumping on the wagon though.. Britains contribution to this effort will be some 40 thousand men and 90 aircraft.. not quite the Widows Mite..
A move to ponder.. the dollar rallied slightly yesterday..gold had a dip..a bit of profit taking there..
But what's going to be the reaction to bristling little North Korea.. threats of pre-emtive action against American troops if the US presence is increased..
Now there is something fundimental about fighting a war on two fronts..
Ahh yes.. avoid it..
