A few days' illness caused by dehydration while queuing in homage to the Roman bureaucracy.
Much has been going on.
Franco Frattini, who as I have said before has done an excellent job at the Italian Foreign Ministry, has welcomed the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Gaddafi. He says it bestows credibility on the military action taken by NATO, and this may be true, but on the other hand it prevents some kindly Arab nation from giving shelter to Gaddafi and his equally vile family, thereby shortening the hostilities..
Meanwhile the non-war rumbles on. Our problems will come when Gaddafi does leave, and we are obliged to support a new 'government' with no democratic legitimacy and which, in terms of personnel, may not be all we could wish for.
