77. I don't think
a good many people in this country will quite understand the significance
of what Mr.Fisk is saying until their lives are touched by this madness.

It's frustrating that this kind of information elicits arguments over
veracity and causation, who has the greater casus beli. People are dying
as a result of an armed conflict and the representatives of our country are
either belligerent to the prosecution of that conflict, or deafeningly silent about it.

Possibly more aptly stated, silenced about it.

George Bush can certainly be shown to be a complete and utter buffoon, and most likely he is.

These years have brought incremental steps toward an abyss. We're all playing street hockey,
preoccupied with arguing about who fouled whom, and whether or not it was a score
for this side or that; meanwhile a truck is coming.
Question is, who's driving the truck?
