How many terrorists are there — hundreds? Sure. Thousands? Maybe. Tens of thousands? Probably not. The point is, terrorists are actual people, and relatively small numbers of individuals, considering the size of our country and other countries. It's not a nation- state problem.

AFTER 1945: RECONSTRUCTION The signature of Lend-Lease agreement with the USA, which agreed to lend some money to the British government which sort of opened an English credit in order to finance the war. This agreement meant that one day the British government would have to repay the money. The war officially ended on 8th may 1945 and the following week the Americans sent the bill. The British government was in a very awkward position as the coffers were almost empty. Nevertheless, the government

Rationality will not save us… “I want to say…and this is very important. At the end, we lucked out. It was luck! That prevents a nuclear war. We came that close to nuclear war at the end. Rational individuals! Kennedy was rational. Khrushchev was rational. Castro was rational. Rational individuals came that close to the total destruction of their societies.” – Robert McNamara, Fog of war 1. Introduction Le 13 octobre 1969, cherchant à dénouer l’impasse

The stream-of-consciousness material is not pure interior monologue as in Molly's Ulysses but consists of the constant intertwining of exterior event and interior reflection, in which "the world outside" plays an important role in the world consciousness. The fifty-one episodes form a kind of novel of development in which the protagonist comes to see his proper
