Good-bye Abu Muqawama?

[William F. Owen]

Wilf, that's a good idea. The council is THE place to be!

Well you'd think, but good and cool as we are, we are pretty short on the high-profile "foot-note" folks. Sure we have Gian Gentile, Tom Odom, Rob, and Cav, but I haven't seen Steve Metz for a while for example, and the names frequently mentioned in the "COIN" debate seem to want to stay clear - otherwise they'd be here.

SWC is exceptionally well policed and monitored and the level of behaviour is excellent, so nothing to fear there.

We are also blessed with a whole raft of basically world-class but lesser known thinkers, too numerous to mention and I think they keep this place very honest indeed, and they are usually are not very deferential to folks here unless they can hold their own.
