Damn. I missed it. But while I'm at it... speaking about being
properly educated, I ran across this today:
Today's college freshmen may not remember much about politics before
President Bush, and the war has been going on for most of their
teenage years. Combine that with the administration's fine line in
disinformational BS and this is what you get:
I have now received three (3) student papers that discuss
Iraq's attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11. All three papers mention it
as an aside to another point. I've had two papers on the virtue of
forgiveness that argue that if we had just forgiven Iraq for the 9/11
attacks, we wouldn't be at war right now. I just read a paper on the
problem of evil which asked why God allowed "the Iraq's" to attack us
on 9/11. The thing that upsets me most here is that the the students
don't just believe that that Iraq was behind 9/11. This is a big fact
in their minds, that leaps out at them, whenever they think about the
state of the world.

I wouldn't want BushCo karma.
