Operation Let's Run a Race, but First Let Me Break Your Knees.
After dropping not hundreds, but thousands of bombs on Baghdad, when a marketplace was mistakenly blown up and civilians killed - a US army spokesman implied that the Iraqis were blowing themselves up! "They're using very old stock. Their missiles go up and come down." If so, may we ask how this squares with the accusation that the Iraqi regime is a paid-up member of the Axis of Evil and a threat to world peace?Arundhati Roy asks tough questions. I wonder if they will ever be answered.

It's kind of a pity that this article epitomizes the whole "YOU ARE WRONG AND EVIL" attitude which should be universally condemned.
Ms. Roy's article had the same fundamental flaw as the Republican crusade of yesteryear. You can't bring dignity back into politics by acting undignified and you don't condemn the evil hegemony by being shrill and caustic. This would be been a good article if you surgically remove the pointless cheap shots and let the viewpoints stand on their own.
