Losing the World, One Country at a Time...

I have to chuckle (or cry) when I see Bush doing his Latin American tour and Chavez doing his "rival" Latin American tour. No matter where you come down (left, right, center, up, down) on the political spectrum, there's no doubt that the current not-so-erudite US administration has done (intentionally or not) all it can to lose the hearts and minds of the average person in city xyz in country xyz. Poor guys. They haven't a clue on how to win this. And while problems of war, famine, terrorism, oppression, disease, poverty, global warming, etc. etc. continue to persist, I turn on the CNN and they superficially discuss whether or not the next possible leader could possibly be black or a woman. Way to tackle the issues of our time. At least it's good to know that life is alive and well in the bubble. Ah, interesting times..
