| 23. The BBC also did a very good job of covering and digesting. |

There are a handful of facets to this war that make it inevitable. Putin once said the worst thing to happen in the twentieth century was the end of the Soviet Union. Talk about short sighted. And Bush has kindled the fire in more than one way.
I have to say I'm impressed with the coverage I've seen. But then I never turn American television on. But probably most of America has no clue, or worse yet, FOX's bullshit.
One thing I come away from this with is just how fragile we all are. Cozy Americans drinking their sixpack in front of a tv glowing with Fox lies don't realize that a few well placed bombs could ruin their day. Or even their life. In just one minute of time, it could all be gone. We're living in a dream state. Unconscious. I keep thinking every day now of that saying- ignorance is bliss.
I forgot to mention that the bbc had Richard Holbrooke on to discuss the situation. He had to rebut what they were saying. But I'd call it informative. He claims it's going to continue. But where it's going could be anyone's guess right now.
There's too much going on right now. I can't keep up.
