war, death, bulldozers

Liked this US-Iraq article from Richard Dawkins, questioning the reasons for war (again) but making the point how can such a great country end up with such an irresponsible leader?

You might have seen in the news recently that a bulldozer operated by the Israeli defence force ran over and killed a protester from the US. What was noteworthy was the absolute lack of reaction by the US – had any of the neighbouring countries been responsible you can be sure they’d be dodging bombs by now.

Some chuckles in that the ‘dozer ran over the protester and then reversed for a second go. Not quite so funny when you see the pictures though.
