Loving elephants as I do, that was the saddest and greatest blunder of my life, and I will carry that to my grave.

What is certain as every recent example shows is that, in an increasingly transparent and interdependent world, isolation is less a splendor than a blunder.

Those who gave the lie to Our signs are deaf and dumb and blunder about in darkness. Allah causes whomsoever He wills to stray in error, and sets whomsoever He wills on the straight way.'

Such an approach might make tactical diplomatic sense, as long as there is no background clatter. But it lacks a sense of strategic urgency, which, given rising international tensions across Asia, amounts to a serious strategic blunder.

His doing so had nothing to do with Hubble being less blunder prone nor was Einstein deferring to Hubble s superior prophetic abilities. It was just that the problem that the term was intended to solve no longer existed.

In America, the Federal Reserve is bound to become much more politicized as a result. Republicans will blame their defeat in November on the Fed s monetary stimulus (if not on the ineffectiveness of Mitt Romney s blunder filled campaign).

If God were to accelerate the ill for the people, as they wish to accelerate the good, their term would have been fulfilled. But We leave those who do not expect Our encounter to blunder in their excesses.

Militarily it is an open question, and politically it is a blunder. Churchill s assessment undoubtedly rings true for many United States and NATO officials today, as they attempt to coordinate an exit from America s longest overseas combat commitment in history.

President Vladimir Putin will visit Ukraine, the scene of his biggest foreign policy blunder, this weekend. Given his myopic actions at home, where he seems increasingly incapable of dealing with any institution that has any degree of autonomy, this seems unlikely.

This threat means that the financial bailout funds authorized by Congress can legitimately be used to support the automakers. Treasury s refusal to do so is a monumental blunder that risks a general meltdown, the consequences of which will extend far beyond America s shores.

Unfortunately, the American public accepted uncritically the war metaphor as the obvious response to 9 11. Indeed, even now, when it is widely admitted that the invasion of Iraq was a blunder, the â œwar on terrorâ remains the frame into which American policy has to fit.

Unexpected by researchers, such a force had nevertheless been predicted in 1915 by a modification that Albert Einstein proposed to his own theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. But he later dropped the modification, known as the cosmological term, calling it the biggest blunder of his life.

A Jewish state has existed for only short periods in Judaism s history, and it twice committed political suicide. The reasons were always the same politico religious fanaticism and the blunder of challenging the prevailing world powers hence modern Zionism s obsessive quest for a binding alliance with a superpower.

Polls suggest that Britain s referendum on continued EU membership, which Cameron has promised to hold by the end of 2017, will be a close call. But it would be both a blunder and a tragedy were Britons to vote for Brexit as a form of protection against tumult on the continent.

Vajpayee s blunder compounded Nehru s 1954 mistake in implicitly accepting, in the Panchsheel Treaty, China s annexation of Tibet, without securing (or even seeking) recognition of the then existing Indo Tibetan border. In fact, under the treaty, India forfeited all of the extraterritorial rights and privileges in Tibet that it had inherited from imperial Britain.

Whereas the demands of Arab demonstrators concern governance at home, the current turmoil can be used to help end a conflict that has confounded the world for decades. Delaying the Israeli Palestinian peace process would be a costly blunder. As we know from bitter experience, waiting only makes a peace settlement harder to achieve.

At the beginning of the twenty first century, when dialogue with the Islamic world is one of the Western world s key challenges, Europe would commit a historic strategic blunder if it were to close its doors to Turkey. To do so would push back the inheritors of the Ottoman Empire back onto an Asian, Muslim, and Middle Eastern historical trajectory.

Fred Hoyle, one of the twentieth century s greatest astrophysicists, provided a perfect example of such a brilliant blunder. Hoyle and two of his colleagues proposed what became known as the Steady State model of the universe, according to which the universe did not evolve following the so called big bang (a term that Hoyle coined) instead, it was constant, remaining the same throughout eternity.

The nineteenth century physicist William Thomson, later known as Lord Kelvin, made his own brilliant blunder when he calculated that the Earth was less than 100 million years old about fifty times younger than the age deduced from modern radiometric measurements. Though Kelvin s estimate was seriously flawed, the effort remains central to the history of knowledge, because it applied real science the laws of physics to what had long been a subject of vague speculation.

Furthermore, Slovakia, unlike most of its regional peers, has fulfilled its legal obligation to join the eurozone an obligation that an independent Scotland would have to take on when, as expected, it sought EU membership. But a sovereign Scottish government might try to negotiate an exemption to this rule and, in so doing, join the tide of other European countries seeking a way out of the great blunder that Europe s monetary union has turned out to be.
