While the nation was distracted with impassioned pleas to off Saddam or save us from WWW III, the real work was being done behind everybody's backs. Phat contracts for Boeing, and if you think that America hasn't been sold out to a globalizing cabal of arms merchants, read the fine print. America will soon be defended by post office box corporations from Bermuda that are registered in Barbados. Beware, patriot!

NEW YORKER: Excellent issue on the newsstands now. Here's the pick of the pages:

Quote: "The world is not a place that George W. Bush was terribly familiar with until recently. At nearly thirteen thousand words, (the National Security Stategy plan is) roomy enough to accommodate some favorite ideological tchotchkes. For example, as a way of enhancing "national security," it promises to press "other countries" to adopt "lower marginal tax rates" and "pro-growth legal and regulatory policies"—your doctor's names for tax cuts for the rich and environmental laxity......... The Bush vision is in the end a profoundly pessimistic one, and, as such, more than a little un-American. It is, among other things, a vision of perpetual war. "World peace" used to be such an uncontroversially good thing that Miss America contestants, even at the height of the Cold War, could safely say that they were in favor of it. Now they'll have to say, "As Miss America, I hope to help little children and work on behalf of United States world domination." It's a dismal dream, and an ignoble guide for American foreign policy."
