I fully agree with the first part of this. I would have thought easier access to a variety of news sources on the 'net would make people smarter. But as they say, you can't fix stupid.
I'm not sure if our leaders can really change the way they operate, given the way our government structure is. Taking all the coverups and conspiracies out of it, I wonder if Bush might have been more aware of the possibilities if he didn't delegate so much. And I wonder if he takes more of a lead now in the aftermath of 9/11, though that doesn't appear to be the case.
