This led to UN units standing around doing nothing while atrocities occurred within earshot. In the situations encountered in Afghanistan the UN would be useless.<br /><br />Do not be bamboozled by images of Toblerone and laughing cows that the Swiss are soft. No-one messes with the Swiss for a reason. Not only does every man and woman between the ages of 18 and 40 have to complete a term of compulsory military service annually, they do so in an environment that is far more secure than at first sight (do you never wonder why the Swiss have so little hydro-electric power... the valleys are so riddled with tunnels they could never be watertight).<br /><br />Also, as the worlds bankers, they have a far more powerful hold over the backers of insurgents than anywhere else.<br /><br />Countries such as UK and US are natural targets because, historically, they are or have been colonial powers. Attacking them has far more kudos than attacking poor, 'defenceless' Switzerland.RevEvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553919504704971225.post-78127605413885521492010-06-23T08:18:34.795+01:002010-06-23T08:18:34.795+01:00RevEv - Of course I don't want another IRA lik...RevEv - Of course I don't want another IRA like tragedy, but I don't notice places like Switzerland who are not in Afghanistan to the best of my knowledge having these problems.<br />I acknowledge that there would have to be a disengagement process, but surely a UN force would have greater legitimacy?Alan Crawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879972273938932321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553919504704971225.post-52804985857523119652010-06-22T21:27:46.265+01:002010-06-22T21:27:46.265+01:00Thank goodness you have stopped blogging if that i...Thank goodness you have stopped blogging if that is your view of the military.<br /><br />You obviously were never in London during the height of the IRA bombing campaigns, cordoned off from where your mother and sister had just gone after a bomb scare; or stuck on an underground train while above you Emergency services cleared up the aftermath of another IRA atrocity. This is what you will have happening again if UK Forces were not deployed to Afghanistan at this moment.<br /><br />I would love for HERRICK to finish.

We know that we must save as much as we possibly can to ensure those who are fighting at the front get what they need, including the support of their colleagues.

We have moved from a society where employers expected to pay for the training of most young people to a society where the tax payer was expected to finance the training and finally to a society where people are expected to finance their own training for the workplace. This sea change was accompanied by a shift in the perception of workers from being partners with employers to being the disposable assets (human resources) of employers. Also, the idea of the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake has been replaced by the concept that the acquiring of knowledge is only worthwhile if it leads directly to the making of money.MadPriesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120376342802143188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553919504704971225.post-81511474165032305812010-06-05T17:38:14.899+01:002010-06-05T17:38:14.899+01:00OK - so "boost ourselves, convince ourselves,...OK - so "boost ourselves, convince ourselves, instill self-confidence that allows us to experience and achieve things we might otherwise have been afraid to do"<br /><br />Objectively that is what faith would look like from the outside. However, if all we can see are hints and nudges then weight of numbers counts and I see more Christians doing this than others - and becoming more alive for having done it.<br /><br />Whether you need the Bible depends on what you think it is and how you use it. I see it as the best guide out there - but not in a text book way.<br /><br />I too worry about children - there is too much indoctrination - but I suspect that you indoctrinate with atheism :).Alan Crawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879972273938932321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553919504704971225.post-33004732573836647042010-06-05T17:16:51.581+01:002010-06-05T17:16:51.581+01:00So you allow a personal subjective life - but not ...So you allow a personal subjective life - but not for theology? What is the rationalisation for that? You have decided that some personal subjective is good and other bad?<br /><br />You also seem to equate theology and faith with personal experience rather than measurable fact. The article suggests that rather a lot of university subjects are also about personal experience and not measurable fact and that to reject theology on those grounds would logically require the jettisoning of the others.<br /><br />I couldn't list all the theologians and their views - but I think that among the well recognised ones the statement made would be well supported.<br /><br />I tell you how I experience God, and I find it a beneficial enough experience that I want others to gain the same benefit. I do not agree with those who want to tell you what you must believe or do - but I do think it would be good for you - much as I suspect you think that it would be good for me to hold your rationalist faith - what are you doing here other than evangelising for atheism?Alan Crawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879972273938932321noreply@blogger.com
