The situation is deteriorating. We are seeing more repression every day by a government that is on its last legs.

The British government fully supports the unequivocal message to Saddam Hussein that repression of innocent civilians and reckless acts of brutality are unacceptable,

There is more repression, a more repressive atmosphere and there are no new ideas coming from the government. It is behaving as if everything is normal and that is what is making the situation really bad.

just as we did in the McCarthy era, we have offset the decline of traditional forms of repression with the development of new forms of repression. A historical comparison reveals not so much a repudiation as an evolution.

The question I would like to pose is not, Why are we repressed? but rather, Why do we say, with so much passion and so much resentment... that we are repressed? By what spiral did we come to affirm that sex is negated? What led us to show, ostentatiously, that sex is something we hide, to say it is something we silence?

...I do not maintain that prohibition of sex is a ruse; but it is a ruse to make prohibition into the basic and constitutive element from which one would be able to write the history of what has been said concerning sex starting from the modern epoch.

a very strong endorsement... of the basic objectives established (by the 19-nation NATO alliance) ... to stop the repression in Kosovo.
