...THERE IS A WAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE MIDDLE EAST? The consequences of war would be considerable in human terms. In political terms, it would destabilize the entire region.

I, for one, am not convinced we have either the experience or the objectivity to have a vote on any issues, trivial or crucial. From consultation on summer storage to picking the next University president, the UC has thus far failed to show that they are not themselves an unsuccessful bureaucracy merely lobbying for an elusive raison d’être...
