What does our Libyan policy havein common with a knee-jerk? it’s autonomic: without conscious thought or reasoning it’s an uncontrolled spasm it could trigger an uncontrolled, uncontrollable series of equally uncomcious responses it’s unconnected to a strategy, a plan, a vision of the future it’s a […]
