Not once have I heard anyone talking with General Petraeus or Ambassador Crocker about the problems that the Iraqi people are having other than their death or maiming. 1.5 million have left Iraq, for Syria. The human misery that was started by this war cannot be rectified by anything the US can offer, at this point. The price Syria is paying for that influx, to my knowledge, has not been touched by the American media. While the big boys play their word games and GW Bush tries to 'save face and his legacy in history', he has accomplished little through the lies that led us other than prove Barnum knew what he was talking about. "You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."
On another note, Google and Microsoft are facing off in an anti-trust hearing which started today, to see if Microsoft is complying with an anti-trust order which Google believes it is not. You can read more on the hearing on the proprietary Microsoft and the accusations on how stifles the growth of competition.
While our country has been killing us with toxins for fun and profit, the EU has surpassed us in exports and GNP.
