I really love newspaper stories that let you know, right away, that you are about to read pure blather. Today's example comes from the always faithful fountain of blather, the Washington Post:
"It was a summer day in 2003, when Iraq was still filled with the half-truths of occupation and liberation, before its nihilistic descent into carnage." ( Anthony Shadid, "Washington Post Foreign Service")To which a commenter at Pajamas Media replies, "Silly me. I thought it was filled with mass graves, torture arenas, frequent attempts at genocide, and psychopathic, delusional leaders. I believe that nihilistic carnage might be an improvement."

====================================
mass graves are no longer necessary as mass dumping and mass bombing seem to work just as well in occupied iraq. genocide remains a huge though much more random problem now that decentralized death squads have replaced saadam's thugs. there are no shortage of psychopaths however delusional leadership remains a big issue. it is certain however, that delusion concerning iraq is decreasing since rumsfeld resigned and may no longer exist after the first tuesday in november 2008.

For a refresher, dear P.A.L., please review this clip: http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=nul and then again please tell be who is crazy and delusional.
