In 8 years, the Bush Regime - neocons, and no doubt with Israel's complicity - imagined Iraq's demise would 'reconfigure the Mideast' with democracies up and instantly flourishing in the glow of a successful invasion. Now Israel invades Gaza - with American armor and support - still imagining/dreaming a reconfiguration of the Mideast. If 'slaughter' counts as vision 'they' are clearly winning by the dead in numbers. If this invasion counts as the Israel/American 'vision' in any other sense, 'Eyeless in Gaza' appears to be more accurate than ever. Might as well imagine a tank or Cheney threading a needle's eye.
What keeps these people - other than pathology - running this wheel over and over again? One - somewhat helpless at the moment - can only 'hope' that this is Bush & Cheney's "Last Tape" and that Hilary-Obama might (might) pour some water on 'the powder' and work out a vocabulary not built on slaughter.
