Reverse evolution?

The big US media right now can find no room for the genocidal rape and murder in Darfur or the massive starvation in North Korea. We are all focused--I suspect with universal near-despair--on Lebanon, Israel, Syria and Iran (minus the Iranian nuke element.) Even the latest massacres in Iraq and the chaos in Gaza have been back page stuff in the last two days.

In the midst of these latest "holy land" horrors--with rockets bringing terror from the north and bombers bringing terror from the south--one has to desperately ask where the hell we are devolving to (literally.)

But wait, my sisters and brothers in encroaching global depression. There is yet more madness to observe, right here at home.

The Neocon satraps of quasi-President Cheney--scorned by just about everybody until they got hold of the puppet strings of young King George in the first days of his reign--apparently have not learned anything from the Iraq morass into which they dragged us. It seems that at least some of them, like ex-CIA honcho Woolsey and imperial scribe William Kristol, now want to do a re-run of Iraq and attack Syria and/or Iran.

Insanity of insanities. And all things Neocon are insanity.
