well, one way to obviate the problems with the administration's policies is to find generals willing to trot out wholly lunatic interpretations of london last week such as stevo bit from the weekly world news--erm washington times.
what is interesting is that very quickly political divisions that might take shape around the bushworld policies regarding its preferred boegyman "terrorism" develop into mutually exclusive information sets...after lat thursday, there was an interesting window opened onto the various discourses that frame the question of what to do--the british situation seems much less centralized, with a variety of discourses operating, where the american one, particularly that of the american right, is wholly uniform--at points of contact in messageboards public and private, the american conservative view of the question was being laughed out of consideration--different information, different political frames around it.
this splitting of information is important, i think, in that is traces the outline of how political divisions in the states are currently constructed and maintained.
