One thing I like about WS is that he's sure that what has happened to him in this context is 100 per cent real, but remains agnostic as to what is really going on.
Another thing I like is that, just prior to the Iraq liberation, he expressed support for it, making an economic case for it, pointing out that everything made and sold has an energy component in its cost (right down to delivery to the retailer, and transportation for the consumer).
I read the entire journal entry, he appears to be a troubled man or maybe he knows more than he is willing to admit?
