In today's NYT Week in Review, the lead article is about America's ongoing -- and, so far apparently unsuccessful -- attempts to assassinate Saddam Hussein.
How can people fail to connect the dots? The article says that we went to war in Iraq as part of a blood feud vendetta of Bush Jr against Saddam Hussein because Saddam Hussein tried to kill Bush Jr's father (Paterfamilias Bush). But the article does not *spotlight* this sentence: The article doesn't say: "Hey, folks! Did you really read the last sentence? Did you really get what it means to YOU?" So the article hides the truth in plain sight, which, we know, is the best hiding place of all.
In October 2002, Bush's Press Secretary explained that only one bullet was needed to avoid a war against Iraq.
How can't the American soldiers over in Iraq, or at least their families over here, see what's happening and think: "Oh, my God! You mean I [my husband, wife, brother...] is over there being shot at by those people all because some d-ck wants to get back at some other d-ck for trying to knock off his 'dad'?"
It's all on the White House web site, in official press briefing transcripts. How can people fail to connect the dots? I've summarized the dots here:

"I just don't get it." (It is important to practice being self-righteously indignant if it doesn't come natural. Practice makes perfect, as people say.)
