How To Drive Anglo Saxons Mad.

I attended this concert last night...

The art of The Arab Violin

and ended up leaving at intermission. I found the first half of the music disappointing, perhaps agitated by the fact that it started a half hour late for no particular reason. The last time I attended an event there...the same thing happened - but it was nearly 45 minutes...and that was for a film, which required no set up.

I am convinced that the Iraqis need not violently resist the Americans, but simply go about living their lives as usual, in complete disregard for Anglo-Saxon superstitions about schedules, timetables and deadlines, driving US planners and logistics coordinators to insanity, forcing a US retreat.
