Perle and "blood and guts" Wolfowitz, W's killer dog, also avoided VietNam. No wonder they are so
anxious to send other Americans to die in their place.

A Year Later, Slipping Anxiety's Bonds

Despite the shadow of Sept 11. Americans can gain perspective, and
comfort, from travel abroad


The New York Times
September 8, 2002


By FRANCINE PROSE


The following is an excerpt from Francine Prose's article:

"Travel alters and expands our perspective. By showing us that life really is different in other places, it provides a reality check against which
we can measure the misperceptions and even prejudices we may have developed at home. In light of the disturbing and tragic events of the
past year, it has never seemed more necessary for us to avoid becoming isolated,
embattled and introverted, with no way of finding out what is happening in the world
except what our government chooses to tell, or not to tell, us."


FRANCINE PROSE is a novelist.
