Haus

I just adore your interpretations of the answers you requested of me. But I don't think I have time to correct the errors in interpretation. More to the point I was not addressing a 'we' but a person called Haus. However I'm sure that everyone is grateful for your explaining what I said... The problem is undoubtedly me for which I'm sorry. But anyway this entertainment has to end.

Deva,
Interesting outline and whilst I'd not agree with what I'd take to be your positon - i look forward to reading how you answer your non-rhetorical questions...

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it's a shame you're leaving; I was hoping to get some more on how Bauman and Singer would play out (I think you were doing something with "by transnational" and "through transnational" that I wasn't getting). Did I at least get the right bit of Anti-Oedipus, even if I couldn't quite tie it into circumcision?

Quick question - so far this thread has, as Deva has observed, kind of careened from its original premise into transnationality and all sorts, which is probably partly my fault; I was trying to tie together the various points thrown up in a fairly diverse discussion. Sooooo.... would people find it easier to have one thread on individual vs state, and another thread on transnational entities, empire (the old-fashioned kind), Empire (the Negri and Hardt and Queensryche kind) and such matters? Or shall we just carry on in this one as a sort of catch-all thread for issues and moral and legal implications of the self-determination of states or otherwise?

If I wanted to talk to myself, I would get a Livejournal.

Actually I think disagree with you both about Northern Ireland. Compared to all other British involvements in what I'd loosely term Colonial activity - NI has shown extraordinarily little of the classical oppressive activity. Compare for example to the last use of concentration camps in Kenya during the Mau-Mau - in comparison to that the abuse is minimal. In relation to Iraq - this is plainly different but so far as I'm aware there has been remarkably little abuse by individual British soldiers or indeed the army as a whole.
