The Nice Flower Market

While spending the day simply walking around Nice, sipping cafe or lounging at the beach is likely more than enough to sate any visitor, this Mediterranean city also offers a few must-see stops as well. Among them are the Matisse Museum, the ancient Roman ruins, and most certainly the Cours Saleya Flower Market. Nice is famous for its Flower Market, which is open six days a week (on Mondays, the Flower Market is replaced by an almost equally delightful flea and antiques market).

One night seated next to me was the editor of a local cartoon magazine specializing in anything anti-American or pop-revolutionary. The editor mentioned jokingly that things were getting so bad in the USA now that he was thinking of moving to Cuba. I replied that was fine but he better find another line of work because if he prints one issue there he could get life in prison. The editor was stunned.... Read more »

It also... Read more »

Iraq Oil - The Spoils of Victory

In 1999, when Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton, he asked the rhetorical question ‘Where is the oil to come from?’ and then gave the answer ‘The Middle East, with two thirds of the world’s oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies’. George Bush also has a background in the US oil industry, and the opportunity to take control of oil production in Iraq must be a dream beyond the wildest imagination of most Texan oilmen. Since the invasion of Iraq... Read more »

Tony Blair and the Seduction of Global Power

Although Tony Blair came to power as leader of a Labour government, his premiership has not followed the customary Labour Party policy of pacifism and anti-war sentiment. Neither has there been hostility towards US foreign policy. Mr Blair reportedly stated that we might be a lucky generation that will never have to send people to war. In reality, he has engaged in more military campaigns than any British Prime Minister in living memory. He had a clear admiration for Margaret Thatcher and her handing... Read more »
