Quite how did we end up in the world wars? The more I read the less I understand, other than more news of being brought up on gigantic lies and the realisation that I read 1984 as a complete tyro who could not understand the extent of the global madness. My guess is that US foreign policy triumphed over its main rivals, European and Japanese imperialism - though one still wonders who was behind US foreign policy. We have just seen capitalism collapse and yet seem dumb to how to get on without its constraints - surely we ain't gonna git conned into a war of democracy against state controlled capital on behalf of the bwankers? I never liked the Beatles Chaz, though in comparison with Cliff Richard they were superb. More people died of starvation in Bengal in WW2 than the western allies lost in soldiers.
