I have been gratified and reassured to see how many of the Americans I have contact with, however light, are talking of help, support, rationality and the stupidity of knee-jerk reactions. It is always too easy to believe an entire people are like their president.
A friend in the pub said "The Americans have declared war". She was referring to "declaring war on terrorism". This is hot air, not war. A meaningless statement. But does this mean the people of America will stop funding the IRA?
Gratuitously at once reassured and deliberately inflammatory,
