John McCain - Iraq a Success
Apparently everything is going well, the war is being won.
This is a stroke of astoundingly poor timing, given that the death toll for American soldiers just hit 4,000. The civilian death count is vastly higher, but doubtless McCain takes the stance of all nationalists in deeming “his own” people’s lives as more valuable than those of human beings from elsewhere. American Exceptionalism invariably leads to American lives as being seen as exceptionally important.
Incidentally, the coverage of the American primaries appears to have been so dominant here of late that we might as well re-name this blog The 51st State. This is almost entirely my fault. I’m almost at the stage of being embittered that I have been disenfranchised of my vote.
