Mad World

Since when are diplomats fair game for violent attacks?  And since when do allies whom we have supported with our treasure and precious lives harbor such unmitigated hatred for us?

Since when is a good person who once slipped into a country on a cargo ship to help rebels overthrow an evil dictator murdered by the very people he championed?

Since when does a country, that we send billions of dollars in aid to, fail to do anything to protect our embassy and let it be torched and our flag desecrated?

Since when does the President decide attending a campaign fund raising event is more important than staying in DC and dealing with this crisis?

Since when do we snub even slightly or equivocate about our support for our undisputed friend and ally, the only democracy in the Middle East?

Since when do we need a new iPhone that requires a new adapter or all new accessories when we could just download the new OS to our old phone? 

Since when do Chicago teachers throw the City into chaos by going on strike?  Couldn't they continue to negotiate without harming families and children?

Since when do we rely on the Federal Reserve to work voodoo economics to keep the US solvent?

All this just from today.  Yes, it's a Mad World...
