WATCHING CNN AND AL-JAZEERA =

WATCHING CNN AND AL-JAZEERA = FUTURE WORLD GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE. This equation only makes sense if you are Margo Kingston, or if you've been drinking industrial solvents:

The whole world is watching this war. For the first time, we get propaganda from both sides, and we become the judge of what is true or false. This is an extraordinary development in warfare, and one creating tremendous accountability pressure, particularly on the Americans. Is this the beginning of world government by the people?

Maybe it is, Margo! Or maybe it's the beginning of a termite aristocracy, or an interplanetary government of gophers! Nobody knows!
