"For whom, it suddenly occurred to him to wonder, was he writing this diary? For the future? For the unborn? ... For the first time the magnitude of what he had undertaken came home to him. How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless." - Winston Smith, from George Orwell's 1984
Mark Krikorianfills us in on the relevance of Burma:
Burma's irrelevant to the world economy, exports no oil, isn't in a strategically important location. I eagerly anticipate the day when Burma's long-suffering people rise up and lynch the criminals who oppress them, but, really, what's it to us?
So, I guess it's obvious why we're in Iraq but not other places, eh?
