Unflitered Carnage

All over Baghdad there are buildings that are not exploding and yet the media insists upon covering today’s three measly bombings after obsessively talking about that untidy rocket attack on the al Rashid yesterday.

It’s long past time for a little fairness and balance. It’s very important that the public knows that some schoolkids painted a mural in Basra yesterday and some of the lights stayed on in Tikrit for more than four and a half hours. A couple of GI’s also shared a coke and a smile with some teenagers.

I wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea and think that things are rapidly going to hell in a handbasket in Iraq. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Oh and about that Vietnam analogy. Is anybody getting that “Tet” feeling, yet?
