WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Death of a Prince, Rainier of Monaco. It is great to be young and know nothing. Because I had no clue how a reporter went about his business, I interviewed the great and the not so good without fear or hesitation - and I loved Monaco. It is a miniature nation of less than a square mile in the South of France and much of it is called Monte Carlo, the name that it is arguably better known by. As to the rest - adieu. But there was a lot to miss. PEOPLE: Truth...

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Wednesday, June 22, 2005. Private Warriors' and retired rich generals. I sacrificed some of my bed time reading last night to watch the PBS Frontline special 'Private Warriors.' Most of the interviews can be tracked down on www.pbs.org. In short, we have been fed the illusion of a peace dividend while the totality of the Army establishment, if one includes the defense contracting support, has actually increased. Look at the defense budget if you doubt this. Virginia, United States.

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Tuesday, June 21, 2005. Return of my web site. Sometimes I wonder if telepathy really does exist. Recently, I have been working hard to try and get my website up again - it is my main way of keeping in touch with readers - and, as if in support, I have had a sudden increase in fan mail. Very odd and very encouraging. The new web site went up last night, June 20 2005. Located at www.victororeilly.com. Posted by Victor at Tuesday, June 21, 2005. Virginia, United States. We don’...

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Friday, July 08, 2005. Is terrorism really one of the main threats to our safety? The terrorist bombings in. On July 7 2005 are, without question, profoundly distressing and truly awful for those both directly and indirectly involved. Nonetheless, the good news is that the British have a long tradition of not over-reacting to such events. Such a truth should be self evident. You could call it horse sense. Well the truth is that terrorism is not, in the main, a serious threat to our...

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Bag up the usual suspects. Watching President Bush last night on television reminded me of various adventures and misadventures in and around Fort Bragg, home of the 82. Airborne Division, a slice of Special Forces and Delta, the outfit that does not officially exist (there are several of those, by the way); and it is also the headquarters of the XVIII Airborne Corps. Weaponry staffed and visited by strange people who did strange things. Remember I’m Irish,.

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Tuesday, June 28, 2005. Good soldiers retire around the rank of 'Colonel'. The Pentagon is moderately impressive when viewed from the from the outside, and there is no denying that it is an ingenious design in a purely functional sense. Mind you, you can say much the same about a guillotine. Floors are separated by ramps rather than by stairs. It could be a roller skaters’ paradise. Could train its next bob sleigh team there. And the less said about the food the better. Overall, it...

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Thursday, July 07, 2005. The jailing of Judith Miller and whatever happened to the moral courage of the American media? The jailing of Judith Miller of the New York Times is just plain wrong. No journalist can do his or her job without informants and, with rare exceptions, confidentiality is fundamental to securing such sources. The reasons are simple. That is a high price for standing up to be counted. Unfortunately, American society is both unfair and unkind to truth tellers.

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Friday, April 29, 2005. Generals like it this way. WAR: U.S. Army. If nobody understands quite. During wartime, it is essential that soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors be supported, but that their commanders be held closely accountable. Those who command and those who do the actual fighting should not. Be confused. Not now, not ever, never! Posted by Victor at Friday, April 29, 2005. Bill Gates woke me up this morning. His point was simple. Microsoft cannot find enough quali...

WAR, PEACE and PEOPLE. Thursday, June 23, 2005. Brave soldiers, flawed leadership. On of the strangest aspects of the Iraq War has been the near obsessional focus by commentators on troop numbers to the exclusion of virtually any serious analysis of how the war has been fought to date by the generals in charge. Great generals - great leaders - are that important. Precisely why we so consistently promote the wrong people in time of peace is an important question to be answered at some other time. These ob...
