I don't know, I'd like to see something that focuses more on the big picture than on the cultural insensitivity of the military (surprise!). I'm so against the war it's not funny, but at this point that's a little like being against winter. It's happening, and there's not much I can do about it besides know what is happening there, and take action to encourage our government to take a different approach. But I would like to know if it is all just fuck-ups, or if there are other places where the situation is improving for the Iraqi people. Are we making progress anywhere at installing competent and effective Iraqi security forces? Are we ourselves able to keep the peace in some places? Are we making progress in getting basic services restored? Given the insurgency, what needs to happen for us to be able to withdraw and not leave a chaotic vacuum in our wake? Is that stuff happening, or are we just treading water?
