The Cost of War was a 'Question Time' style debate, organised by PAD and held at County Hall in Durham
The distinguished panellists were an unlikely combination: a politician, a moral philosopher, a pacifist peace campaigner, and a Brigadier, Defence commentator for the Daily Telegraph! The debate was chaired by Prof. Christophe Rowe, who kept us all in order, and enabled dificult and contentious issues to be discussed. It's a pity there wasn't time for more contributions from the lively audience but, that apart, it was a first-rate meeting. It was particularly heartening that quite a number of young people were present, who took a keen interest and asked several good questions.
Many issues were raised including: the concept of a Just War, the causes of war, the effects of war on soldiers and civilians, and on the environment, pacifism, interventionism, deterrence, nuclear proliferation, non-violent alternatives to war. It was a truly stimulating meeting with excellent and sometimes inspirational contributions.

The Dean of Durham, Canon Kennedy, invited the riders (and their bicycles) into his cathedral! Later, we shared supper and watched a film about Vanunu's plight which is far from over....
