Where's Conrad

Conrad, your newspaper's getting too sensible. On Monday, first we had John Keegan complaining about Afghanistan causing overstretch, and then we have Robert Harris complaining that a war on Iraq is not going to be a "cakewalk". Please stop it, or else they will think that Conservatism is about the national interest rather than some mythic "Anglosphere".

Well, today's leader on Zimbabwe strikes the correct, batty imperialist note. Phew!
