I was totally gobsmacked by the present Bush administration’s ability to overlook the lessons of Vietnam when they went to invade Iraq – and that earlier disaster was within their living memory.

Golf and monkeys? Hmmm…

Two examples comes to mind:
Angkor Wat and Easter Island (Rapa Nui).

I know the plight of the leaf monkey is no laughing matter, but when you mentioned he was heading for the golf course it put me in mind of a (human) yuppy party-goer heading for his early morning nine-hole round after a night out on the town (though the monkey probably has a better handicap against par).
