truth, justice and anti-americanism?

I guess I fall pretty squarely into the category of those who have, for the past year at least, become known as anti-american. And that’s why I turned fairly quickly to Arundhati Roy’s article in yesterday’s guardian. It’s a recurring theme for so many that our society’s desire for labels sets up dichotomies which rob us of the freedom to express nuanced beliefs. I wish I knew how to reclaim that. {I wish I could think how to structure that penultimate sentence}

Most of my thoughts at the moment are with the Stop the War demo taking place in London. Circumstances entirely within my control mean that my plans to be there haven’t come to fruition. I’m trying to find other ways to express my solidarity. I’m not sure that buying a Beck CD “for the people of Iraq” quite counts. But thanks for the suggestion, Steve.

Now I must go and listen to that Beck CD….

James.
