The story of Irwin's life, already being written, will conclude that he was a good conservationist, a global ambassador for protecting 'dangerous' animals. But how can the owner of a zoo be worthy of such a title? Zoos are enclosures that imply a loss of sanctuary and celebrate the subjugation of nature.
It’s fascinating what travel does for food prejudices. Tripe, abhorrent back in Australia, off-white spongy mounds in parents’ horror stories of post-Depression childhood, was trippa con spinaci on Taverna Guila’s menu.
Most analysts agree that fighting terrorism is not just a matter of using military force. Pakistan has to combine military, political and socio-economic development, to counter terrorism in the long-run. But this is easier said then done.
