Walter Rodgers' sensible Christian Science Monitor essay opposes US stay in Afghanistan, proposes civil conduct of affairs should characterize domestic "nation-building."
Money quote: "Members of Congress must see themselves as colleagues, not enemies, and the public must not let buffoons with megaphones shape the debate at the expense of serious-minded observers."
With that quote I concur; but I must say that for so long as mass media behave as mass media have come to behave - which is as mass cheerleaders instead of as responsible reporters, I don't hold onto much hope of its prescription taking effect. Thank God, then, for the blogosphere.
