One of the most outrageous pieces of sophistry I've ever had the displeasure to hear came to my ears from the lips of our Minister of Foreign Affairs today. Peter Mackay, a man whose home province hasn't seen armed conflict in over two hundred and fifty years, maintains that a truce in the Levant war is undesirable; "what good is a ceasefire," asks the man who once (and perhaps still does) harboured ambitions towards the Prime Ministry, "if there's just going to be more fighting?"
One might as well transpose this logic and its slippery conclusion to the world-historical arena: "what good is peace, if there's just going to be more war?"
Welcome to Asuncion - yes, we have no bananas! Nuclear warheads, however, are cheap at any price.
