Headlines screamed that 2 al-Qaida leaders were killed in Iraq over the weekend! Also in the news was airlines at standstill because of volcanic ash. Also new figures show over 1.3 million Iraqis killed since the invasion. Also Goldman Sachs reported record profits due to its skill in fraud. Also Catholic priests scandal stretches into Latin America. More suicide bombings in Iraq. More suicide bombings in Pakistan. More suicide bombings in Afghanistan. More friendly fire deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements. More civilians deaths in all theaters of U.S. engagements.
But, hey, the news of two al-Qaida leaders dead was right there up in lights. Where has critical thinking gone? I'll tell you. When you have too much money you can get by for a time without critical thinking. A bankrupt America will bring back more critical thinking.
