The Schools Are On, But Everyone's Home

A Guardian article has an interesting side comment amid the story about today's spate of attacks:

The escalating violence has unnerved many of Baghdad's 5 million people. Many parents are not sending their children to school for fear of further bombings.

"Today most of my friends did not come to school," said 18-year-old Duha Khalid at the Al-Khalisa girl's high school, located near a police station. "We heard rumors about big bombs that will go off at the start of next week."

Congratulations, Dubya, Halliburton's making millions on building schools. Too bad that they're practically empty.

The "Good News" offensive is pretty much a joke at this point. Any ideas on what Karl "Luthor" Rove has left up his sleeve?

If he had Kryptonite, he'd have used it by now. Hmm...sure, I'm a Deanie, but didn't Gen. Clark fall ill recently? ;^)
