Tuesday - May 3



The end is surely nigh when a newspaper as venerable as The Times starts espousing the virtues and simplicity of trading Foreign Exchange with a 10 page supplement that reads like '' FX for Dummies'' as it did today.






As an aside I read elsewhere today that there have now been twice as many civilian deaths in Syria (following the protests there) as there were in Libya before the Allied forces decided to get involved in the latter justifying their actions on ''humanitarian grounds''. I'm guessing though that as the only oil Syria has, is olive in make up and texture, that it might be a while for a bit of consistency in foreign policy to shine through.

And more food for thought. If we seek retribution for an ill done to us by inflicting the same upon the transgressor then aren't we simply lowering ourselves to their standards? What happened to respecting a nations sovereignty? I thought that was a cornerstone in the makeup of the UN Charter.
