I never thought that I'd agree with Karl
Rove about anything, but I do today 05/06/2004 06:06 AM
Before Bush launched his war on Iraq, I argued about the folly of a predominantly Christian nation trying to impose a Richard "Prince of Darkness" Perle-Ahmed Chalabi type of democracy on Iraq with bayonets and bombs. I also argued that the logic of American troops in Iraq, at best estranged fron Iraqis by barriers of religion, culture and language, would soon cause American troops to be seen as occupiers, and would cause American troops to act as occupying armies always act in a strange land. My experience of living in an Arab country for two years convinced me that the United States was headed for disaster. But I confess, I never imagined this: Some outraged member of the military has leaked some more photos of Iraqis being abused and tortured by American soldiers to the Washington Post, and the Washington Post is leading, on their website at least, with this (cropped) photo of a naked Iraqi man on a dog leash being held by a female American soldier. These pictures show at least a minimal amount of knowledge of Arab culture, because if one was seeking to humiliate an Arab man, presumably a citizen of the country we claim we are liberating, it would be hard to do more. Each and every item visible in this picture would contribute to that humiliation. Buried in a stupid NYT story about a stupid inside-the-Beltway-only Washington game about Bush pretending to spank Rumsfeld for having been caught abusing Arabs was a second-hand quote by Bush's brain, Karl Rove, who: told one Bush adviser that he believes that it will take a generation for the United States to live this scandal down in the Arab world Well, I finally agree with Karl Rove about something. It will take decades, if not a century, to undo the damage in the Arab world that Bush has done in 3 years. And Americans will pay a heavy price in the meantime. Tell me again how Bush's war on Iraq has helped the so-called "War on Terrorism?" At this point, we will be lucky if the leaders of all the Arab countries, including all our former allies, don't publically encourage their young men to take revenge on America for these abominations. Bush's war on Iraq has been a disaster, on a practical as well as moral front. As I said earlier this week, we are continuing to aid...

How to Apologize

How to Apologize 01/02/2004 06:00 AM
This LiveJournal post explaining how to apologize is a fine read, and particularily nice to start the year with. I did my share of apology-worth things in 2003, and I expect there will be any number deeds in 2004: if I can hew to these guidelines when saying sorry, I'll be a better person for it.

Be Specific and Don't Exaggerate: Avoid hyperbole, exaggeration, self-pity, and vagueness. Instead, try to focus on a realistic and specific approximation of what you actually did wrong. Exaggerations and vague generalizations put the other person in the position of defending you instead of accepting an apology, which isn't fair to them. It's a way of (consciously or unconsciously) weaseling out of actually taking responsibility for your actions. For example:

* I'm sorry I was such a pain in the ass. (self-pitying exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I yelled at you. (better)

* I'm sorry I ruined our whole day. (vague exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I lost my temper in front of your friends. (better)

* I'm sorry. I just suck at this stuff. (vague self-pity)
* I'm sorry I wasn't communicating with you very well about how I was feeling. (better)

* I'm sorry I can't do anything right. (self-pitying, vague exaggeration)
* I'm sorry I ruined your shirt by drying it on "Hot". (better)

These kinds of pseudo-apologies often work to inspire in a caring person the desire to comfort you, to say that it's really not all that bad, etc. Miraculously, you are relieved from actually have to talk about what you did do, because you've redirected the conversation toward things you didn't do. Sneaky. Manipulative.

Why can't governments apologize?

Why can't governments apologize? 05/27/2004 10:57 PM

Why is it that governments have so much trouble admitting that they've made mistakes?  Let's take the U.S. government, for example.  Right now we have troops deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq.  We don't seem to be achieving our goals or be welcome in either place.  Why can't we apologize sincerely and go home?

In Afghanistan the U.S. spent a huge amount of effort trying to thwart Soviet control in the late 1970s.  Jimmy Carter sent all kinds of money and weapons to the Islamic rebels so that they could kill Russian kids in uniform.  In retrospect this seems like a bad mistake.  If the Afghanistan had been a Russian possession there would never have been a Taliban and perhaps never an Osama bin-Laden or September 11th.  Could we offer a sincere apology today to the Russians and offer Afghanistan back to them?

Saddam Hussein seems to be alive and well.  The Iraqi people don't like us, if newspaper articles and armed resistance are to be believed.  Why not say to Saddam "We were wrong about your weapons programs and we're sorry for invading and here's your country back?"  Our troops could get on planes in Baghdad and wave goodbye to a restored Saddam.  (We might want to split off an area in the north and give it to the Kurds since we made them some promises back in the early 1990s and it would be good to keep them.)

Governments do this with wrongly convicted criminals.  We say "Sorry for your 15 years in jail.  We didn't have DNA testing back then.  Enjoy the rest of your life."  Why not do this in foreign policy instead of trying to come up with contorted ex-post-facto justifications?

I’ve always been fascinated by Disney Corporation and its ability to continually tap into the emotional attachment that its customers have with the Disney products and brand. In a lot of ways, I think Disney is the most powerful and valuable brand in the industry, because the passion stoked by Disney does something wholly remarkable: it turns customers into fans and some into apologists. I know because I’m a fan of Disney’s theme parks. I…

Karl Marx On Religion

Karl Marx On Religion 03/19/2003 10:25 PM
Perhaps Karl Marx's best known quotation is his description of religion as "the opiate of the masses." This quote is often misrepresented by those ideologically opposed to Marx as though Marx were advocating immediate and total obliteration of all religions. On the contrary, Marx viewed religion as the sole solace, often, of the oppressed proletarian classes. He would not have dreamed of tearing this away, their only consolation in life. Lutheranism was the prescribed Prussian state religion, and career advancement for non-Lutherans and especially Jews was difficult to impossible. But for Marx, religion in general was merely a symptom of a much larger issue -- the fundamentally predatorial economic relationship between the bourgeois class and the proletariat -- rather than religion being a fundamental problem in itself. As Napoleon put it, "Religion is great stuff for keeping the poor from murdering the rich."

BIOS reviews the IBM ThinkPad R51 and finds it to be an excellent value for a solid laptop, as long as you stay away from adding lots of the overpriced options from IBM's catalog (generally good advice when buying any laptop, really). For less that thousand dollars you can bring home a ThinkPad of your own, albeit one that is wholly unsuitable for gaming or other performance-intensive activities. That's okay, though - it's still a ThinkPad, one of the best laptops you can buy.

About two weeks ago a green 1 pixel wide line about two inches tall appeared in the bottom right corner of my Thinkpad screen. I called warranty service today, and it looks like I’ll be without the computer for 4-7 business days while they repair it. That means I’ll need to back everything up, remove confidential information, and set up my usage environment on another computer for a week or two.

It doesn’t make me feel any better than the tech support guy I spoke to at IBM had never heard of a pixel before. He asked what it was and then kept referring to them as “piscles.”

IBM Thinkpad X40 Review 06/23/2004 09:11 AM

Like pretty much any other Thinkpad, the X40 ultra-portable won't win any prizes for its looks, especially since IBM continues to festoon its otherwise sleek black slabs of mobile computing goodness with jolly red, green, and blue stickers here and there, but man alive, they make a nice laptop. Riyad Emeran thinks so, too, after trying about the X40 for a couple of weeks -- he's calling the 1.2GHz Pentium M powered laptop the best ultra-portable around. And that's after he reviewed the Sony VAIO VGN-X505VP. Big words, too, considering the many relative shortcomings of the X40, like a slowish 4,200 RPM hard drive, 1,024 by 768 screen, and only 802.11b WiFi stock standard. The VAIO may be sexy, but the Thinkpad is more usable; that wins the day when it comes to laptops every time.
