Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

no she is not, there are many conflicts in the world that do not receive media funding for political purposes.

I do share your worries exactly, both sides of the "argument"
share exactly the same fears in opposite directions.

I tend to be hawkish, but I cannot predict the result, simply because of the trends in the educational program of the USA. someone posted I think, or it was drudgereport news item or something, that a high school superintendent in california declared that there would be no more validictorian prize for the high school because he thought that competition was not psychologically correct for the students. I see the same mantra in the public schools around here. Everything is designed to force a "brainless" student body educated to buy the latest Cd roms, work in teams, not learn much in school, be told that they have done well when in fact they learn nothing, so their self esteem is increased, and not compete with the class of people who go to private school and dont pay estate taxes. For the most part, the same forces that produce a cow like team work battered work force in the name of political correctness are the ones who support anti war notions. Even in Ergo's remarkable article about oxytocin and brain mri scanning, the purpose was to provide psychologically correct methods to convince people to work together for the corporate good. Sometimes I think the anti war groups are actually working for Bush.

If there was a voting block of anti war, pro real education, pro tax reform, pro competition, pro self acheivement, and pro real resolution of foreign problems that affect the USA, then I would trust it more. Soros is an example of this "mythical" other camp: against the war and against the lack of estate taxes, another example of the zionist conspiracy of international bankers to force the USA into war for Israel, no?
