While us Americans prepare to celebrate the 4th of July people are
still being slaughtered in Iran.  We continue to receive news mostly
from hidden video and twitter.  Our media response is limp and our
political response is practically non-existent.  It saddens me more
then angers me.

This is what I was taught in school.  Back when it was cool to love
your country.  P.J. O'Rourke sums it up nicely in a typically arrogant
hyperbolic fashion:

“We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks.
We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and
descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take
your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it won’t
give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original,
giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When
we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d’Antibes. And
we’ve got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-
ant metric numbers go."

Well ok, maybe the credit limit has suffered. (;-)
