Time and History

Bizarre weekend as ever with Lady Gaga, who normally looks like a chambermaid staying at the Abu Dhabi owned Lanesborough  hotel while the IMF chief and possible French presidential candidate Dominique Strauss-Kahn is taken off a plane to be charged with sexual assault and attempted rape following accusations by a New York hotel chambermaid.
Meanwhile in the Middle East the murders continue as despots and dictators attempt to cling on to power.
The israelis not to be outdone decide to kill a few Palestinians for old times sake and perhaps knowing that their intransigence has been their undoing in their last 63 years.
With Assad rumoured to be under house arrest and his wife in London the foundations of Syria look shakier than ever with fear no longer a factor the regime is on its way out.
Libya will shortly be liberated and unless reforms are quick the shackles or tyranny will fall elsewhere. Time and history is not on their side .
