10. Private citizens, like the ones who hoisted the flags. A lot of 'hands on' people there!

Thanks for all your responses to my questions on these events over there. We really never get the full story here, and there are no nuances to the coverage here. Seems to be more like - good guys vs. bad guys. I see them all as good until proven to be total screwups. And I don't necessarily consider if the 'like the USA' as criteria to judge their actions. It's their own country, not ours.

We get too much visceral, hair on fire kind of news designed to fit a narrative that in many ways is decades behind the current situation.

I don't even think we're being given a realistic picture, and the truth is not theirs or ours, but somewhere else. The news organizations, including those online, just push our buttons.

I think Europeans are getting a better quality of journalism and more diversity than we get here and it's making us dumb. Do you feel your news sources are reliable? Or should I say, in keeping with the views you have on how these affairs should be handled? You seem to have different opinions on things that we go HOF about.

Gotta get some sleep. Later.
