I was listening to the Analysis programme on R4 just now. The presenter, someone called Philip Stephens, contrasted Simon Jenkins' "gritty realism" with Jonathan Powell's "muscular idealism".
Which of them, do you suppose, had just observed that militarism was out of date? Wrong! Simon Jenkins (gritty realism). Which of them thought we should continue in the tradition of military intervention in order to promote Western Values? Jonathan Powell (muscular idealism).
Perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel.
