The only place where we see political debate in the US is on the WWW. Le Carre is right and so was that Guardian Article - we have a few brave souls like Helen Thomas - but turn on Fox News, CNN, and you see the dregs - people who pose as pundits and who get away with assertions with no substance. And somewhere along the way morality has been thrown out of the window - an attack on Iraq will be preceeded by massive bombing at the cost of how many innocent lives? Americans never commit ground troops until the landscape has been obliterated. I've never understood how 'Christians', as in the Conservatives in the US who call themselves Christians, can have so little regard for human life. If you believe in Jesus (and I can't accept his divinity) - how could you imagine that any of these people would get beyond the pearly gates - in life avaricious, greedy and dishonest, and careless of human life itself. And it suits Bush to embrace Christianity - interesting to read Frum on his sickening religousness - even if his church - the United Methodist Church - has disavowed him over Iraq.

Question for Neocon: In early 2000, when Bush told us about the huge budget surpluses - how it was the people's money and had to be refunded - did he know the economy was in decline and those surplsues would not be realized?

Someone like John Le Carre is either a genius with knowledge well beyond that commonly recognized, or he is inappropriately berating those of us who support Bush as credulous neanderthals whose opinions are so far beneath his notice he need not make a cogent argument. You overlook the most mundane probability: someone simply with common sense ... I see no need for anything like genius in these statements -- I'd certainly be interested if you can point out where ?? It's a novel thought to think it takes a genius to disagree with current policy. OTOH, one could more likely say the contrary -- if one reads broadly and critically it takes a much higher level of ingenuity to reconcile the current fact-pattern with anything resembling reasonableness.
