Blog de Juan Fernández

De todo un poco, como en botica. Apuntes medioseculares, donde, por hablar, se habla hasta del gobierno. Este blog cuenta con la bendición de los siguientes santos: San Woody, San Humphrey, San Frank McCourt, Santa Almudena, Grande de España, patrona de los canadienses, y Santa Dorothy Parker. Borrachos y borrachas de sombra negra, abstenerse.

Robert Fisk: The Roman Empire is falling


The Roman Empire is falling. That, in a phrase, is what the Baker report says. The legions cannot impose their rule on Mesopotamia. Just as Crassus lost his legions' banners in the deserts of Syria-Iraq, so has George W Bush. There is no Mark Antony to retrieve the honour of the empire. The policy "is not working". "Collapse" and "catastrophe" - words heard in the Roman senate many a time - were embedded in the text of the Baker report. Et tu, James?
