   The firm that designed the Ballardian blandscape of Milton Keynes is now   
   going to do it to Najaf in Iraq. If any atrocity in Iraq will sentence   
   England to years of terrorism and resentment, it will be the dreary and   
   enervating postmodern shopping malls and office slabs that will be erected   
   over the ruins of something better in that benighted city.   
   The planners, I note, are not actually going to Iraq but will run the   
   project through 'remote control'. Martin Crookston, who is charge of the   
   scam, said on Channel Four News that 'the architects will respect traditions   
   and local cultures and practices'. Wow, they haven't done that in Britain   
   for a very long time.
