[Peace-discuss] A view from the UK

…
Ms Palin is a symbol of deep American introversion, of the fact that  
you have ceased to take yourselves seriously and, more important,  
don't much care who knows it. Arguments over the relationship between  
the wider world and your choices have become irrelevant. You have  
detached yourself, finally, from the global community. This is  
isolationism as never before conceived. "American" in my life has  
been lingua franca, for better or ill. Now you talk to yourself.

And you talk, my friends, in the sort of gibberish that once you  
spurned. It's not about Ms Palin, as such. It is about the process  
that creates a candidate-grin manipulated to serve darkness,  
ignorance, fear, a war economy, and the flaunting of stupidity.

Nice going.
