If I Cannot Understand My Friend's Silence,

I Do Not Know If The Doctrine That The Nation-state Arose In The 19th Century Was Still Being Taught:;... But It Is Erroneous. The Nation-state Reaches Back Far Into The Origins Of Europe Itself And Perhaps Beyond. If Europe Was Not Always A Europe Of Nations, It Was Always A Europe In Which Nations Existed, And Were Taken For Granted, As A Basic Form Of The State.

You Have To Give The Electorate A Tune They Can Whistle.

If In The Words Which The Secretary Of State Has Just Used, The Use Of A Nuclear Weapon Is To Be Avoided 'at All Costs'. What Is The Point Of Having One?

I Refer To The Misunderstanding Of Soviet Russia As An Aggressive Power, Militaristically And Ideologically Bent Upon World Domination 'seeing', To Quote A Recent Speech Of The British Prime Minister, 'the Rest Of The World As Its Rightful Fiefdom.' How Any Rational Person, Viewing Objectively The History Of The Last Thirty-five Years, Could Entertain This 'international Misunderstanding' Challenges, If It Does Not Defeat, Comprehension. The Notion Has No Basis In Fact... If Russia Is Bent On World Conquest, She Has Been Remarkably Slothful And Remarkably Unsuccessful.

It Is The English, Not Their Government; For If They Were Not Blind Cowards, They Would Lynch Chamberlain And Halifax And All The Other Smarmy Traitors.
