The Just seems to be so much going on these days, the debate on Iraq and Iran, a new budget, the Libby trial and on and on. S I think some posts will need to be more or less bits and pieces of thoughts.Our Enemy, Ourselves.
First bit is to draw attention to a new link in the sidebar "The People of Iran" it and an opinion poll compare attitudes of the people os the US and Iran. A question in particular that caught my attention
"At the most general level, respondents were asked: “Some people think that bombing and other types of attacks intentionally aimed at civilians are sometimes justified while others think that this kind of violence is never justified. Do you personally feel that such attacks are often justified, sometimes justified, rarely justified, or never justified?”A very large majority of Iranians (80%) take the strongest position that such attacks “are never justified,” and another 5 percent say they are rarely justified. Only 11 percent call them sometimes (8%) or often (3%) justified.Americans largely concur but at lower levels of intensity. Forty-six percent say that such attacks are never justified, while 27 percent say they are rarely justified. Twenty-four percent see them as sometimes (19%) or often (5%) justified."
