I wasn't as shocked as I was
mad when I saw the Towers fall
because the first attempt in
1993 should have made it
clear something was likely.
My reaction was: "Those Damned
fools!" Bush obviously didn't
understand the world scene and
was so blase about it. By the time
the plane landed in Penn I told
myself we had WWIII, because now
he could hit Iraq. Braggart son
showing his dad how to be a
hero. The psychologist at Norther
Ill U is again giving her
"dry drunk" version of him (Common
Dreams). I just think Greek
tragedy. What cinched my hunch
was the "Crusade" slip.
Bush bashing may have had a
purpose until last Nov. With
an impotent president the ball
is in the court of public opinion.
US can't leave until the oil
question is settled. SPIEGEL
online has an article about how
China et al are trying to
horn in on the contracts.
Jim Baker is there to prevent
it. The interesting next step
is State of Union speech.

I wonder who is pulling Dubya's
thoughts together.
Participatory democracy has its
work cut out for it, but I hope
it works.I recall the heartbreak
I felt during Nixon's witch hunt days followed by Tailgunner Joe's gift of
his name to an ISM. Being in int'l
education I took it on the chin. So I
guess I'll just have to
stay alert enough to last
through another couple of
years. We octogenarians
have a way of thinking two
years is a long planning time.
