um, yup, continue to 'gnaw the bone' about why we are being trained to 'react' to today, rather than read the history of why things came about GS. Have just watched a doco on one of our 'remaining' free to air channels about Anthony Eden the "Suez" crisis. Sheesh, talk about history repeating . and that was only 50 or so years ago ..
The similarities with the "Iraq Crisis" are outstanding ..aaaarrrgh!!

I watched that and thought the same thing. Then seeing Nasser making the same mistakes with Israel.

Yup, JT. Am not sure who actually has control of SBS, but Noonan and the 'gummint' have been steadily (and quietly) trying to 'neutralise' the ABC by limiting its funding, and now by more or less 'branch-stacking' the Board of Directors. Won't be long before the ABC will be reduced to re-runs of "The Bill" and "Coronation Street". Thankfully SBS can still run doco's with a bit of 'bite'.
