Possible Pause

This is my busy season. By Tuesday I'll be on my way to Frankfurt for a very large trade faire which is the most important event for our company. I won't be back until the 16th of Feburary, and unless some unforseen opportunity arises, I'll be cut of from the internet, and blogging, for the duration.

In the meantime, perhaps those of you who commented on the last post could read the following two pieces and consider this blog post an open thread until I return (and beyond if you want!).

First is a very good short history of the CIA engineered coup in Iran. Read it.

Then, Chalmers Johnson has a preview of his new book up at Tom Dispatch. I'm not saying I agree with everything he says, but it certainly is thought provoking, and hopfully discussion provoking as well.

Enjoy, and wish me luck at the show!
