A cacophony of voices starts off this worthy report from outside the borders of World America. Quickly we move to a series of comments from various activists, male and female, around the globe. It may make you unhappy to hear that we’re considered “arrogant and slightly ignorant about the state of the world,” but it shouldn’t surprise you. Nor should it to hear an Iraqi woman describe the occupation as a virus that’s introduced terrorism where once there was none. What happens in America greatly affects the rest of the world and we need to know how we’re seen. Given that the current president seems to consider pigheadedness a positive value, and much of the media daintily avoids the art of serious reportage, we the people desperately need the fresh oxygen of other opinions to keep us from succumbing to the stifling limitations imposed by the war on terrorism. PD’s would do well to squeeze this half-hour into their programming inauguration week. It may irk listeners who think Bush is the right Yale cowpoke for the job, but anything that stirs the populace to reflect is good for the health of the body politic.
