us and them

[chadfu]

my parents kicked me out of the house last night.

i called at ten to tell them i wouldn't be home on time because alison's car wouldn't start. they were fuming. i told them we'd called someone to come look at it. halfway through the call, the engine roared to life (we must have turned the key forty or fifty times) and i told my dad i'd be home

btw, i agree that the stuff going on in the middle east is amazing. my take on all this: i'm starting to think bush really is a man of the faith, and God's working through him. i know this might piss u and ur readers off, but from all accounts of his behavior in office, he's just authentic about his faith. so God's able to work through even his mistakes.

however, neocons like krauthammer are idiots. they think just b/c their colossal errors were followed by hopeful signs in the area means that they somehow caused them. total dumbfuckers, those signs are happening IN SPITE OF the invasion, not BECAUSE of it. anybody remember abu ghraib? there's ZERO evidence that anything they've done or advocated has in any way helped the situation.

it's like this: thomas friedman was right, the neocons were wrong, and bush is blessed.

the problem, i think, is that bush is bubbled in by a tightly knit circle of neocons. his agenda and his faith may be pure, but theirs is not. as it is, they have control over the way he sees the world, the way he implements policy, and the way he views the consequences of that policy.

what bugs me is that the neocon worldview seems to have infected the 'liberal' media, so that they (and thus, the american public) are seeing the world through that lens.

i'll be in touch soon.
