Guardian: "One day it will be for real. The capacity of the global economy to live with systematic abuse is not infinite, and the US and China are testing it to destruction. The fall in the dollar over the last few days and the knock-on consequences for the stock markets around the world make everybody feel queasy because those in the know are aware that we can't go on like this.
The US cannot finance $800 billion trade deficits with China and Japan's savings for ever; one day it will have to stop. The dollar will collapse - or the Americans will slap on tariffs - and the open world system we have known since the war will begin to implode. One day, as I said earlier, it will be real; but it's probably not now.
Globalisation needs to be governed, but that is not on the agenda. So we wait, watch and hope for the best while preparing for the worst."

ICH: "George W. Bush is ill. He has a psycho-spiritual disease of the soul, a sickness that is endemic to our culture and symptomatic of the times we live in. It's an illness that has been with us since time immemorial. Because it's an illness that's in the soul of all of humanity, it pervades the field and is in all of us in potential at any moment, which makes it especially hard to diagnose.
At the root of Bush's pathology is a deep dissociation. Like the terrorists, he has split-off from his own darker half, projecting the shadow 'out there', and then tries to destroy this dis-owned shadow. By projecting the shadow onto each other, Bush and the terrorists are each seeing their own shadow reflected in the other."
ICH: "Just because one hears an inner voice doesn't necessarily mean it is the voice of God. Listened to uncritically, we could just as easily be seduced by the Devil. Bush has become inflated with an archetype of the collective unconscious, which is an expression of madness. He has become identified with one side, the light, of an inherently two-sided polarity, and projects out the other, dark side, which he then tries to destroy. By shadow projecting in this manner, Bush has become possessed by the very evil he is projecting outside of himself."
