POPSYemen a refuge for Al-Qaeda? Hmmmm. How can we invade Yemen plus have enough forces left to fight our Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well as invade Iran? And what about all those other countries that harbor terrorists? (I'm just talking of course of the terrorists we currently disapprove of and are not supporting of course.) I guess the problem we have in this country is we don't spend enough on our military to be able to be attacking all these places at once. Ooops, I forgot, we are many trillions in debt. But no big deal, Congress are experts at spending money they don't have. They even spend money our grand kids of the future don't have!

POPSREALITY CHECK! There is a frightening new global trend of denial... Europeans think that they don't need to limit fishing... Car companies don't think they need to improve fuel economy standards... Bush thinks he can increase spending and cut taxes at the same time... Jingoists think we are winning the war in Iraq... Democrats think Hillary Clinton has enough experience to win an election... Polluters think that Global Warming won't really happen... Evangelicals think Jesus is coming back soon... Fundamentalists think they can win the war against modernity... The truth is: we're stuck with this world. The rules DO apply. No free passes. You have to face the music sometime. We must choose realism over comfortable delusion. Unfortunately, for now, wistful thinking will rule the day until we let it all collapse around us. Then we'll stand there scratching our heads saying: How could this happen?
