The implication is that resources generated by Diana's campaign against land mines would otherwise be used for better purposes if she wasn't distracting people. I wish that were the case, but I don't believe it is. > > I am struck by the contrast between your > indulgence of the Diana cult and your hard- > headedness with respect to the extensive > labors of trade union and social-democratic > forces to move the EU to the left. I think that Diana's efforts have had positive effects. If that constitutes "indulgence of the Diana cult," so be it. On the other hand, I think that union and social democratic efforts to move the EU to the left is a classic instance of efforts that would be more likely to bear fruit if they were expended on different tactics and strategies. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree once more, Max. Sid
