But maybe the scope of the interview was the impact on Newsweek, in which case there would be no question on the price of tea in China. Or maybe they ran out of time before he got to that question. It's hard to infer anything from the absence of something. Won't wash. Charlie gave Mike a whole hour of friendly interview to tell his side of the story. The future of Newsweek and the press was discussed at length; the future of America's efforts in Afghanistan, not at all. I'll skip the Smartland aspersion and go right to the substance, the interest in international opinion Well, then you have skipped the most important point, the point that Smartland only notices Smartland's opinion. They don't even register Heartland opinions with which they disagree, e.g. that we are in a war, as anything other than blatent acts of deception. That is why there is so little real debate and so much name-calling. So naturally the only international opinion that exists is in Smartland, which all UN honchos belong to, naturally. It IS more dangerous to go it alone Depends where the others are headed, doesn't it? There is no virtue in following a crowd into an indefensible position.
