Those three Little Words Politicians Find so Hard to Say...(Sorry, Red Green)

We Don't Know.  I mean, think about it.  How many times have you heard a politician answer a question bluntly and honestly with an admission of ignorance?  Maybe with a tagged on "it's a risk, but we believe the potential rewards merit the response" or something equally erudite.  Alas, politicians deal in ridiculously ignorant certitudes that they can't back up at all.

What am I talking about? Libya, of course.

Back! And, of course, disgruntled.

So, I'm back from my whirlwind tour of parts of the world better left undiscussed.  Seriously though, I don't want to talk about it all that much.  Which is why I have decided to comment on the first thing I noticed on coming back:  complexity has replaced integrity in the minds of those who fancy themselves polite and educated.
