Cherished and Loyal Readers, we apologize again. For several weeks we have promised you a soothing report on the changes and non-changes on Anguilla. Yet, world events have cast our Staff into deep gloom, and has them wandering around muttering. A new book has the crisp title "Fiasco" -- it's ordered but hasn't arrived. Of course it is about the Bush/Cheney/Rummy mess. [We like Fiasco instead of what we have called the Iraq Big Botch, or mess – or morass]. The recent blood flowing in Lebanon and Israel adds to our despair. We ask questions to which there are no answers. How can any religion or sub-sect thereof approve the blowing up of a hundred innocents of another sub-sect whose crime is shopping in a Baghdad market? What blindness convinces the hapless and impotent Gaza dwellers that their salvation lies in lobbing homemade bombs into Israel? What careful calculation convinces Israel that blowing up the oil storage at the Beirut airport will bring down Hezbollah (or Hisbollah – why can't it even learn to spell its name)? What incites that unshaven Iranian teenager to say there was no Holocaust? Did the head of the Iraqi parliament really just say that the Jews were the ones who beheaded the captured innocents in Iraq? Is he crazy?
