While we can rightly condemn Bush/Cheney for the abandonment of principles while pursuing unlimited power,we should also ask what larger theme is being played out. An apt metaphor is the Hurricane Katrina- Global Warming realities. This administation is committed to the denial of these irresistable events; they attempt to describe and confirm their version of reality by simply asserting that their version is true and everyone else is either deluded or disloyal. The endless desire to preserve domination and control over world events is at the heart of the endless attempts to spin and explain their behavior. Yet reality has a way of intruding; the only question is how much pain and suffering we will suffer as our leaders pursue an agenda that was always doomed to failure. The new reality is that we live in an innterconnected and interdependent world. The sooner we take our place as a responsible global citizen the sooner we will start making decisions which reflect that new reality.
