I've been tip-toeing around issue for about two weeks, with about three started-and-unfinished posts on Iraq, Bali, and the whole damn mess. In the end I decided that maybe, as Cos says (perhaps in a different context), my voice is not what will help the situation. So instead, some questions for you all.

• Has your sense of personal security diminished?


• How did you think things are going to turn out?


• If we oppose the idea of American unilateralism, what role do we think America should take?


• How do we tackle violent social movements?

So, um, yes - what does foreign policy look like in a better world?
