Fascinating article on G. in Baghdad about the current Iraqi state of mind. Something to give you hope as well as worry.
And, Salam has also updated, with some truly sickening stories. He's also started a Fotoblog with his many pictures.
No, it's not just the Americans' fault. But there's a lot of stupid misunderstanding and bad judgement going on, and I don't blame Salam and G for being worried. Also keep in mind that US soldiers are still dying almost every day in Iraq, and in Afghanistan.
The Memory Hole now has video of President Bush doing absolutely nothing after he was told of the 9/11 attacks. His actions endangered all the people he was with, because his appearance had been previously announced. Had hijackers wanted to take him out, they knew exactly where he was, and he just waited for them... with a classroom full of children. Would it have panicked the children if he'd left? Hardly. He should have immediately left and gotten more information... but he didn't do ANYTHING.
There is a complete overview of what Bush didn't do on this page (read, particularly, the comments about a possible assassination attempt on Bush).
And the 9/11 reports are still not being released. Why? What is in them that the Bush Administration doesn't want us to see? Is it because the they completely messed up? Or something more sinister? The longer we wait for real information, the harder it will be to ignore conspiracy theories.
Hey, if you don't want to parent your children, just move to Arkansas and let the government do it for you. After all, why bother teaching your kids moral values when you can have a bookstore owner thrown in jail for displaying something that might possibly be considered obscene?
