This Article in the San Francisco Chronicle goes way too easy on the New York Times for its disgusting treatment of the failed coup in Venezuela. Nonetheless, it is nice to see any media criticism. And no, Howie doesn't count.
But, the real scorcher of the day comes from the LA Times. Of course, in these times writing a scorcher is simply a matter a of pointing out the obvious. In this case:
George W.
Bush is a geopolitical
incompetent. He has
allowed a clique of hawks
to induce him to take a
position on invading Iraq
from which he cannot
extract himself, one which
will have nothing but
negative consequences for
the United States--and the rest of the world.
He will find himself badly hurt politically,
perhaps fatally. And he will rapidly diminish
the already declining power of the United
States in the world.
