There are some good rules and there are some lousy rules.

It's so easy for propaganda to work, and dissent to be mocked.

Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.

The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law.

Clinton's hands remain incredibly clean, don't they, and Tony Blair's smile remains as wide as ever. I view these guises with profound contempt.

I believe an international criminal court is very much to be desired.

I'll tell you what I really think about politicians. The other night I watched some politicians on television talking about Vietnam. I wanted very much to burst through the screen with a flame thrower and burn their eyes out and their balls off and then inquire from them how they would assess the action from a political point of view.
