We think it is time for ???? to regain the regard of the rest of the world

Like the optimist in the last entry, I know it's not easy to be optimistic and in fact my writing on distraction is teaching me so much about the nuances of unconscious motivations that keep us far away from the complex textures of a more complete reality about our insides and about the world outside.

But it is too hard to be so realistic all the time. And I take a break to scream, if only quietly since the same soothing and meaningful (to me) music is still playing.
DO WE SERIOUSLY THINK WE CAN TELL ANOTHER COUNTRY THEY'D BETTER REGAIN THE TRUST OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about distraction and phantom configurations. Just today another person said the same thing. As representative of a Jewish organization he said we should all take a stand against Iran and put pressure on them so they can feel a responsibility to the international community. This seems to be a fashionable sentence structure because it's being used a lot by a lot of people.
So President Bush (he really is President, isn't he?) is telling Russia to leave Georgia alone, and I--the naive part of me under the sophistication, clinical and worldly knowledge--still can't believe this is happening. It's too surreal.

We are wanting to rescue poor Georgia from the Russians and I think:Wat would happen if they sent their Condolezza Rice to Iraq and started sending insurgents weapons, and told us we should try to gain the respect of the international community? Why is no one in America standing up and saying that we have little right to judge hardly anything since we are committing so much violence in Iraq, and more????? How is a candidate electable without these principles. And yes I will vote for the saner without being pleased that no one is daring to notice difficult truths out loud. Wait, I can send them "The Emperor's New Clothes". Maybe not such a good idea...I don't think they would get the connection between our heads of state and the Emperor.
A question: If President is naked and no one sees it, is he still naked? If we are collectively naked and we all stop noticing, hmmm....quieting the nerves....

Freud said that if we don't work through our history we will repeat it. He was a pretty smart guy, at least about some things...I think this was one of them....
We should be talking about this stuff more......
