EMAIL TO JUDE WELLER-REDFERN
I thought in Oct 2001 that it was a most barbaric, foolish, and revengeful over-reaction to 9/11 when our side invaded Afghanistan to begin the War on Terrorism. It gave the war-mongering, right-wing neo-Cons in the USA the excuse they wanted to go to war to start the invasion of, I think eventually, seven nations to be overthrown. Iraq was the second. It was called the Project for the New American Century.
Prominent neoconservatives in the George W. Bush administration included Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle and Paul Bremer. While not identifying as neoconservatives, senior officials Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld listened closely to neoconservative advisers regarding foreign policy, especially the defense of Israel and the promotion of American influence in the Middle East. Many of its adherents became politically influential during the Republican presidential administrations of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, peaking in influence during the administration of George W. Bush, when they played a major role in promoting and planning the 2003 invasion of Iraq and invasion of Afghanistan.[3]
We are all well and Linda, in particular, is very involved with Gwennan and Jemima. She shares herself out very fairly, shows no favouritism and gets on so well with the two sets of parents who also, themselves meet up quite often for walks and swims. B and T have a special cycle carrier for Gwennan that is pulled behind one of their bikes when they go off on bike rides. The first one was last week when Gwennan was 9 mths.
