Why is Modernity so Ugly? Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:00 | Joanna Gray
Why is the modern world so unremittingly ugly, wonders Joanna Gray. As yet another interchangeable block of beige bricks springs up in town, the contrast with the glories of the structures our ancestors built is damning.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Below is the text of a leaflet that the IAWM was distributing on 28 March last . It called for the recognition and arming of the Libyan National Council and for granting the National Council.... "access to the billions in sequestrated regime funds in order to buy weapons and other crucial supplies... . "
In her speech last Friday Clinton seems to have conceded most of the IAWM’s demands..
“NATO BOMBING, NO SOLUTION. Just eight years after they launched their shock-and-awe devastation of Baghdad and ten years after their invasion of Afghanistan, the same western forces are pummelling yet another Muslim state with bombs, burning soldiers and tanks and killing civilians in the process. Yet again, the claim is that their intervention is a question of moral principle. The passing of the UN security Resolution 1973 which authorised the bombing was held up as an attempt to protect the Libyan rebels and stop Gaddafi brutally slaughtering his people. Why, then, did the same Western powers provide Gaddaffi with the arms that are now slaughtering the Libyan people? Had NATO and the UN really wanted to support and protect the rebels, they could have acted differently. They could have
Sent arms directly to the rebels and dispatched anti-aircraft weaponry dropped weaponry and supplies to the rebels
Offered medical help and followed the example of many Libyan doctors in exile who hastened home to offer help to the injured.
United in recognising the Benghazi based National Council as the legitimate government of Libya.
With 39.1 billion barrels of high quality oil reserves we cannot ignore that the question of oil looms large in this military intervention.
The NATO bombing has failed to halt the fighting or force Gadaffi’s forces into submission. It is actually making things worse.
NO PARTITION AND FULL SUPPORT FOR THE LIBYAN UPRISING AND THE ARAB REVOLUTIONS. The IAWM gives its full support to the Libyan uprising. It condemns the hypocrisy of western governments which despite their humanitarian rhetoric, have failed to respond to the basic demands of Libya’s Transitional National Council (TNC). It asks for the recognition of the TNC, access to the billions in sequestrated regime funds in order to buy weapons and other crucial supplies, and an immediate halt to the “mercenary flights” that provided Gaddafi’s regime with its foot soldiers.
IRELAND SHOULD RECOGNISE THE LIBYAN NATIONAL COUNCIL AND CALL A HALT TO THE NATO INTERVENTION. The IAWM believes that our government should not close ranks behind the NATO bombing of Libya. Fine Gael has made no secret of its desire to increase Ireland’s cooperation with EU-NATO cooperation. The only comments of our new foreign minister on the crisis unfolding in Libya, has been to hide behind the letter of the UN mandate. We call on
Ireland to recognise the Libyan Transitional National Council and call a halt to the NATO bombing. “

IAWM. Irish Anti War Movement?
The rebellion in Libya is a military uprising, supported by Sarko, Cameron and Israel, and colluded with by Washington(who pulled the chestnuts out of the fire the last time these same coalitioners of the wilful pulled together for the Suez gig.
Anti war=non violence, last time I checked. And is not recognising this rebel group lining up with NATO's agenda?You are calling for fund release to buy more weapons?
Tell me I've read that rong.
Below is the text of a leaflet that the IAWM was distributing on 28 March last . It called for the recognition and arming of the Libyan National Council and for granting the National Council.... "access to the billions in sequestrated regime funds in order to buy weapons and other crucial supplies... . "
Since when did the so-called Libyan National Council gain the national authority of the people? This is a joke and the IAWM position here is laughable if it wasn't such a serious and dangerious situation.
