Late night thoughts on barbarism

Late night thoughts on barbarism 06/04/2004 02:32 AM
I liked Josh Marshall's summary of the opera-bouffe-like character of the slow-motion Beltway meltdown underway, in his commentary on the Tenet resignation:

...Beside the possibility that the White House's favored Iraqi exile was an Iranian agent, that the spy chief just got canned, that the OSD is wired to polygraphs, and that the president has had to retain outside counsel in the investigation into which members of his staff burned one of the country's own spies, I'd say the place is being run like a pretty well-oiled machine.

It does seem as though one of George Bush's chief legacies may be the complete implosion of the C.I.A. -- at a time when the nation desperately needs its services. (Bush's father served as director of the C.I.A. for many years. Is there some sort of Oedipal lunacy at work?)

So now Bush will be running on a platform of -- competence? Effectiveness in the war on terror? Isn't a war on terror first and foremost a war dependent on good intelligence? At what point can we declare this charade of Republican knowhow at an end?

If you're a pragmatist, you should be running from Bush as fast as you can, out of sheer desire to see the nation's business restored to good management. If you think in moral terms, of course, it's even worse.

My friend Charlie Varon recently e-mailed me with a pointer to a diary Wallace Shawn published in The Nation on the eve of the invasion of Iraq over a year ago -- a piece of writing I missed at the time of its publication. It's a typical slice of Shawn's brand of self-lacerating thought, which will infuriate those on the right who disagree with him, trouble those on the left who might be thought to be in his camp, and cause any reader to think hard.

Shawn has always tried, in works like "The Fever" as in this diary, to unearth the connection between the comfortable lives of Americans -- Red and Blue staters -- and the privation and suffering in other parts of the world that seems to make our comfort possible. The position is beyond bleeding-heart -- it's spurting-arteries-of-guilt liberalism. However you feel about that, it has the singular virtue of cutting through abstract cant and partisan rhetoric and talking about the particulars of real human suffering.

All of which is a roundabout way of introducing this observation by Shawn:

Why are we being so ridiculously polite? It's as if there were some sort of gentlemen's agreement that prevents people from stating the obvious truth that Bush and his colleagues are exhilarated and thrilled by the thought of war, by the thought of the incredible power they will have over so many other people, by the thought of the immensity of what they will do, by the scale, the massiveness of the bombing they're planning, the violence, the killing, the blood, the deaths, the horror.

Now, I'm sure this sounded over the top when Shawn published it in March 2003. And it may still sound over the top to you today. What a thing to say about a president! Or about any human being!

Still, it's always seemed critically important, in trying to understand the Bush administration's march of folly, to remember that its entire top leadership (with the exception of its one half-hearted multilaterist at the State Department, who nobody listens to) consists of men (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld) who never served in combat. The next level down of leadership -- the architects of the Iraq policy, men like Wolfowitz and Feith and Perle (and let's not forget Rove) -- have no record at all of any military service. For such leaders, I can't help thinking, "the violence, the killing, the blood, the deaths, the horror" must necessarily remain abstractions -- at best, matters that one can turn one's gaze away from (as the government has literally done with the taboo photos of returning military coffins), and at worst, as Shawn argued, bearers of vague quasi-sexual excitement (as we saw with the pumped-up macho display of the "Mission Accomplished" tableau, now so painfully embarrassing).

The experience of combat service doesn't inoculate a leader against making mistakes, nor does it turn more than a few people into pacifists. But surely in most cases it burns into the brain an awareness of the essential seriousness of war. And that, finally, seems to have been Bush's failure with Iraq, one that even conservative supporters of the president -- like the historian Paul Johnson in today's Wall Street Journal -- are beginning to admit.

Bush drove the nation to war and threw an army into the field without taking the enterprise seriously enough. He didn't plan, he didn't study, he didn't question, because these are things he does not do. He has told us as much. And the people he trusted to do these things for him were equally unwilling to treat the situation with the gravity it deserved, instead using it as an opportunity to settle political scores or put into motion long-hatching schemes and delusional geopolitical chess moves.

I can't help thinking that, had more people in the White House ever been on the receiving end of a bombing raid or taken barrages of enemy fire, this administration might have proceeded with somewhat less criminal a level of recklessness and incompetence.

Late night thoughts on browsing the Iraq
tag on Flickr 12/17/2004 06:40 PM
One of the most striking developments in the web over the last year has been the sudden popularity of sites like Furl, Flickr and Del.icio.us, where users can categorize the data or photos they save with keywords, more colloquially called tags. Everybody in what Kellan has called the Internet chattering classes has been talking about tags, and a word for them, folksonomy, has even been coined, discussed and debated. Even Mr. Metacrap himself has signed on as an advisor to Flickr, and can be found on Flickr happily adding metadata to his photos. I've always been reluctant to rely on someone else to store my data. I tried each service soon after it was released, but didn't find any of them compelling enough to use on a daily basis. Furl I liked, but I was nervous about having all my data stored for me on the net by a company without an obvious business model, and then I found a better way to store data locally using Slogger. Del.icio.us I tried but couldn't make heads or tails of until Joshua Schachter explained it in person at ETech 2004. Flickr I tried at the same ETech, but at the time I was blocking Flash in my browser, so all I ever got was a blank screen. So much for being an early adopter. However, I have recently started to use Flickr and Del.icio.us on a regular basis. Why? Because they turn out to be great ways of following a conversation on the web. I display the RSS feed for my Del.icio.us subscriptions on one of my personal portal pages, and it updates hourly with what other people have bookmarked about topics that interest me. I couldn't make the John Battelle's Web 2.0 conference this year, but in addition to reading the blog coverage and press coverage, I searched Flickr's web20 tag and got a good idea of who I know who was there. Once, months before the fact that US soldiers were torturing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib was revealed to the world, I came across a site where American soldiers in Iraq were posting photographs on the internet and wrote about it. I wondered at the time what the effects on our democracy would be of soldiers being able to send photos of their experience directly to the citizens, unmediated by our media conglomerates. As we found out from the photos...

Note to Self: Don't Read Scoble Late at Night or Microsoft Bloggers Now Added and a Rant

A wee bit tired this morning.  I made a quick round of my normal stops in the blogosphere last night and I happened by the Scobleiz er.  Now I've met Robert in the real world and I always get something out of reading his stuff -- but it usually doesn't cost me sleep.  You see what happened is Robert pointed me off to Microsof t Watch and a list of Mi crosoft bloggers with weblogs.  So I thought "Wouldn't it be nice if they were all indexed".  And there I was making sure they got stuffed into the system.  Here's what I found:

• Probably more than 50% of them were already in our database.  Go figure.  I guess that either a) people are adding themselves or b) the RSS auto discovery routines I wrote work better than I initially thought ;-)
• Microsoft bloggers use a plethora of different tools.  I do think, however, that the dominant one is Radio.  Blogger, Movable Type and other systems are also represented
• Not all Microsoft bloggers have RSS feeds
• Topics span work and personal
• Devhawk.net did a really smart thing with Feedster -- he added it to has blog's UI essentially as a "virtual table of contents".  Good idea.  I think I need to offer some viewing improvements if people are going to do this.
• Someone needs to teach the "gotdotnet" folks what RSS is.  Also I couldn't believe their HTML source when I was poking around. So get ready for a vent.
  
  <RANT CLASS=NASTY BILE=HIGH FRUSTATION=SEVERE>Go look here and look at the __VIEWSTATE input element.  To me that's just plain lame.  Use a session, send a cookie and use your horsepower for this, not my bandwidth with every page view.  And if you really want to barf then click around a bit and go here.  They seem to be encoding the entire viewing history in a really nasty way and shipping it back to you every single time.  It just gets bigger.  After navigating thru like 3 pages I had 6,554 bytes sent down the wire that did nothing for me.  Thanks for nothing.</RANT>

I guess its not all that bad actually but it just seems damn silly.  I hope that's not a dot net feature but I'm afraid that it is.  Sigh.
