You know just as I was feeling a high from the international spirit of today's World Cup [which was an awesome game, congrats Italia] I get a grim reminder of how disturbed this world actually is right now. Juan Cole gives one hell of a run down today on events that are spilling out from all the seams in the Middle East and yes - Turkey. Just read it.
If that's not enough sobriety for you, follow this link to read a little on the long evil history of Dickie and Donnie. Its about their pattern of carnage cover ups, dating back to the early 1970's and the Tiger Force military scandal - rather nightmare. To say it is savagery implies that there are words to describe to the horrors of Tiger Force. Gitmo, Ghraib and Haditha are just the latest chapters in a big book.
Back to Italy though. Kevin Drum has this to report on what a serious press core and some not for sale bureaucrats can actually do when they remember their CIVIC DUTY. Perhaps there is hope for America and perhaps today's World Cup win is a harbinger for change across the board.
