Exactly what happens when extremists create so much animosity that it becomes difficult for the intelligent people to remain as moderates. That is what has happened in Israel to destroy the Oslo Accords. That is what happened when American extremists germander election districts so that only extremists can get elected. That is what happened when Hitler disparaged the bourgeois and intelligencia to obtain power. That is what Karl Rove has been so good at to make the lesser intelligent Americans even promote lies characterized by phrases such as "Freedom Fries".
Those with intelligence should have seen the expression "We are where we are" means - that we must destroy ourselves because that is what we are doing. And yet America is now become so dominated by extremist rhetoric (Limbaugh lies and some foolishly think Fox News is news) that ... well how many knew about soldiers lying in their own urine in Walter Reed ... known this almost a month ago. That too is no longer important. More important is the political agenda attached to that fact. So instead we deny it or blame it on the Army.
As if those enlisted men brought those dog collars with them to Abu Ghriad.
