no end in sight

That's the name of a great documentary I watched at home a couple of days ago. It's about "Iraq's descent into chaos - the inside story from the ultimate insiders". I particularly enjoyed it because I had just finished reading a fabulous book about Iraq called Defeat by Jonathan Steele whom I also had the pleasure of meeting over dinner at a good friend's house. This is a must read and will give you a very objective and articulate analysis from a senior correspondent of the Guardian newspaper who's covered international issues including the middle east for over 40 years.

Reading the book and watching the movie really makes you sick to the stomach. How could so few muck things up on such a grand scale? It leaves you frustrated, angry, sad and annoyed and wondering how we're ever going to fix it. Annoyed me so much that I had to start a new blog to share my irritation :)
