Disgust

Our local news headline: "2000 dead; Iraqi charter approved."

At some point, you can only call them traitors.

NPR just ran a story about mothers of "two of the 2000." Pure Oprah: crying moms telling about the moment when the "gray government car" came to the door.

Unless you believe no war is justified, this is useless. This kind of coverage ought to be part of every war, to be sure, but it is useless to the question, is the war good? When you run it out of context -- when you don't stand for or against the war -- then you are conveying that hte war is not good. This is traitorous. When Hillary has her adventures, NPR won't be doing this. They'll be running stories of dancing Palestinians giving their mothers candy and singing songs. But there will still be two mothers who are crying over their sons.
