The media really acts counter to peace, becase that's what it does. It's really fascinating. Everyone thinks nothing is happening in the "peace accords" in Israel precisely because it's under so much media scrutiny. If they stopped reporting on them daily, it wouldn't seem so drawn-out and unsuccessful.
You know, this Petraeus guff is absolutely mind-blowing, to me. This whole song and dance about it, supposedly a landmark moment in the course of this unbelievable war, and nothing new gets said or done. A publicity stunt if I've ever seen one, I think. Bush, so fed up with the criticism, so tired of hearing that he'd messed up, finally "promised" to give his opponents what they wanted - on his terms, of course, but hey, it's going to happen eventually, right?
What's going on between the White House and Congress is nothing short of ridiculous, and would be comical if, I don't know, it were happening on a playground and not in the highest offices in our country. It would be funny, I guess, if what they did didn't affect people's lives.
