I guess we won't have to blame video games, music, movies and Tv for influencing violent behavior by our teens in the USA anymore.

Now violence gets the imprimatur of the higest level of this Administration. What will Lynn CHeney do now?

The true impact of these pictures and videos will be revealed over time. It's not so much what the Arabs beleive . It's more about what we and the rest of the world will come to believe about ourselves.

Land of the free home of the brave.
What happened to our values?
Rummy's Subjective use of the Geneva COnvention.
Cheney's speech (no questions from the press please) on the way things were.
Propaganda/Marketing based on an Administrations's need to justify themselves and always be right.

We will be silenced the next time there is a Black Hawk Down incident. Heaven forbid what will happen the next time our soldiers are caught or wounded.
This is the new brand America.

Old cold warrior chickenhawks making decisions, justifications, rationalizations.
Oh, I forgot. These were creatures. Raw meat for the meat grinder. Not human. Who decides who is human?

We are the new Regime in Iraq. lowering ourselves to their levels instead of raising them to ours. Bremer should be holding town meetings with the newly appointed Council showing Iraqi's how Democracy and American values can improve things. Instead the Council is flown to New York to get validation, flown to Mosul to identify bodies, picking new holidays to commemorate American Invasion.

We are better than all this.
I will not give up hope.
These last few years are just a nightmare and eventually we will find our way back.

Time will tell.
