] Date Posted: 19:44:50 12/04/04 Sat In reply to: Ian (Australia) 's message, ""our kith-and-kin were being slaughtered "" on 19:31:24 12/04/04 Sat By Kith and Kin I meant blood relations, as you well know. Rather than trying to draw racist connotations from my statement, I would hope that you recognised my main point was that foreign policy, alliances and wars, are sadly all too often aimed at protecting our interests rather than our friends/relations/ideals/princliples, or indeed, any member of the human species.

Date Posted: 21:23:09 12/04/04 Sat I was not suggesting racism. I was suggesting that our quiet little lives will have a better chance of staying quiet if we remove sources of violence and injustice, because whoever is affected directly, we are all affected in the long run. Ultimately, promoting development all around the world is the best way of achieving peace and stability at home, and development can only take root where there is liberty and justice.
