Right-o. CBS, sans-Rather, was particularly pathetic in its hyperventilating report tonight. I see very little understanding in the media of the reality of disconnectedness (is that a word) in the world. As long as people are connected, rooted, grounded in society they will seek to preserve it. When they feel that they are not a valued part of that society, they will seek revenge in one way or another. IMO that's what makes Dubya who he is...Babs and Poppy did a real number on his head and he's taking it out on Iraq and on us.
