Into Zac's this morning for a little more sorting before we officially re-open after refurbishment - and fully open the first time since lockdown.
Then home and out for a walk with Elder Son and Theo. Cue cute puppy photos.
A discussion - in writing group of all places - about the relative merits or otherwise of Israel and Palestine brought to the fore the huge gap between me (Palestine) and another writer (Israel). We changed the subject before it got too heated because we were never going to agree. How much worse must it be for those actually living there to consider any sort of compromise or settlement?

How lovely. I've just received an email from someone from a group asking what's on Zac's Christmas wish list. I said pants, pants, pants! So helpful when people ask what we want before donating.

Kissinger colluded in the saturation bombing of North Vietnam to force their surrender. Whereupon he signed off on various documents. I'd look elsewhere. Maybe Mo Mowlam and the Good Friday Irish agreement? I'd have suggested George Mitchell, but he seems to be in the Epstein files, sigh.
Look closely at any peacemaker and you'll find shades of grey,. some darker than others. Politicians do what ie expedient and have to compromise, too.
You are always busy that sweet dog looks like a young puppy.

Yes, Kissinger is regarded as a war criminal in some quarters so he may not be the best example to hold up. Maybe check out the list of Nobel Peace Prize laureates over the years to find someone?
Good thinking.
I was going to say that he and Nixon played good and bad cops, one asking, the other threatening.
Unfortunately true.
He is gorgeous!
I have a copy of Kissingers 1968-1973 memoirs. Autographed too.
