...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

It isn't the support of the American people, it's their money, and the political stability necessary to get that money into the Middle East.
So now when Americans see pictures of broken bleeding children and grieving women and men, they'll think of the massacre at the sewage treatment facility, it balances the rising death toll of women and children in Iraq and Gaza. Clever P.R.
The Spanish train bombing. Clever P.R.
The day after Kerry legitmately and in absolute dignity trounces George Bush, removes him from serious consideration as anything but a hired stooge, Al Qaeda releases a video urging young Muslims to attack America and its allies. I'm not sure who "allies" means in that context, besides Israel, at this late date, but it does erase the image of Bush whining and stammering in the minds of the confused and frightened public, in the US. Clever P.R.
I realize I'm speaking the unspeakable, and if I'm mistaken about the main point the rest won't matter, but it's just too consistent. And late.
Those children were enticed to that place. It was not a celebration - it was a staged event. They were drawn there intentionally.
This is all coming from the same sick heart. A cunning honed through millenia of persecution. A vengeful and inhuman intelligence.
They will expect us to wait until after the election, I think.
