NPR's "Fresh Air" today had a very interesting interview with Thomas Ricks, Washington Post Pentagon correspondent, on his new book 'Fiasco.' Great overview of what we did and are doing poorly in Iraq. Highly recommended. (click on the post title for a link to the article, and to hear the interview.)

The underlying problem may be that much of the ruling elite here in the USA does not understand that G_d created us all with good and evil. Instead, they look at the world as 'we are good' and 'they are evil.' Likewise for domestic policy. Divergent opinions are not welcome.

We may wish to consider that we cannot eliminate all of evil, and that we may have to find a way to live with it. I pray for peace, and for wisdom.
