A brief commentary from Lacanian Attachment Analysts.

As we type up the above for the site, it is possible that within a week from now Bush/Blair will lead an attack upon Iraq. From our viewpoint it is destructive fighting, the goal being to dismember rather than disarm Sadam Hussein and his supporters. In addition it is also what we have called the tribal dynamics of organizations, whereby some of the 'international tribes', i.e. US, UK et al are attacking the actual tribal systems in Iraq. Creative fighting is left at present to France Germany et al and UN and to concerned people throughout the world, as the polls and demonstrations indicate.

Elizabeth London made an interesting comment about Monbiot¹s article in that, in the Lacanian sense he has coined a new signifier i.e. finity being the opposite of infinity, The world like our own lives cannot and does not go beyond certain ecological limits indefinitely.
