The above is an outstanding piece that summarizes and lists some of the books that have tried to record the steps, decisions and points of view that led the world to Chimpy's interactive "game." There is also a timeline of milestone events that is useful to keep in mind. Beware--it is very Sunday Times-ish--i.e., the editors obviously view this as an important piece and have given it the column inches it deserves.

2. I'm NOT ignoring the protests.

I was in Barcelona during the first set of protests three years ago. I am still involved in the protests. I send an electronic thank you to every person on the planet who protests this war.
