On A Heavier Note

From a recent Time Mag essay by Aparisim Ghosh who has spent way too much time in Iraq interviewing pols and commoners and observing the scene. The essay is excellent.

"In the absense of statesmen, I fear the sectarian furies that have been unleashed in Iraq will hack way at the last vestiges of sense and decency and drag the country into a final fight to the death."

And awaaaay we go . . . . .
