There isn't an end to this. The nightmare of Iraq is one we Americans willfully created, for reasons so cynical and cruel and insane as to be unimaginable. From the outset we did not care one genuine wit about it and today, even with polls indicating a lack of support for the war, I doubt many Americans really give a shit about understanding the true nature of what they have allowed to happen in their name nor about expending the minimal energy in finding out such information. My low opinion of the populace at large is only exceeded by my low opinion of the major news media in this country. Is it truly an unstoppable monster at this point? From what I understand, most citizens inside the Soviet Union knew that what their media was telling them was lies. Here, outside of a few people I know, most people blindly accept whatever they are told by the TV and don't even contemplate questioning it. Oddly, and damningly, the largest group that seems to do so in America believes that the media has a liberal/communist bent and so demand to be told more and more conservative/corporatist nonsense than what the regular sources provide. 31 bullets? There really is no bottom to it. Horrible news.

But seeing such a senseless act of violence, such a deliberate <strong>murder</strong>... it's painful. And wrong.
