Salman Rushdie

 It is a relief to learn that Salman Rushdie is recovering from his injuries and that his assailant is in custody and will have to answer to the law for his reprehensible actions. But we must not forget Rushdie's support of the US-British invasion of Iraq. And while he did hedge that support at the close of this essay, his overall message is clear: war is the answer. He was wrong then (as subsequent history has shown) and, to my knowledge, stands by his original and, in my view, regrettable, statement.

Hemingway on Modern War

 In 1935, Ernest Hemingway penned an article for Esquire magazine in which he predicted that a second world war would break out in 1937 or 1938. "The United States would doubtless be brought into it by a combination of propaganda, greed, and the desire to cure 'the impaired health of the state.' Modern war, said Ernest, is always planned and waged by 'demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule....'"
