Is the mainstream truly sickened, or are people just trying to ignore this madness, feeling that they have little control over events this horrifying? I don't know. The mainstream Americans I mix with daily have said little to nothing about what's going on, which bothers me, since I feel a swelling rage each day. And God forgive me for thinking, even for a moment, that the Bush gang knew what it was doing in Afghanistan. On that score, I'm as ugly as an American gets.
