The Price We Pay

Excellent points by Jonathan Schwarz on "Tiny Revolution", in yesterday's Everything Is So Cheap When YOU Pay For It!

Finally, I enjoy the concept that "widespread destruction" in Iraq is a price "we" pay. This is probably a surprise to Iraqis, who may be under the impression this is a price they're paying. This is another thing deeply embedded in America consciousness -- that we may cause others to die, gosh darn it, but we're the ones who really suffer.

Of course the proposed black and white documentary made by "a talented female director" is a reference to Triumph of the Will.
