Bob, I find myself doing the same thing. I'm always assuming there is a spin to everything. The tragedy withstanding, the media will somehow use this to blame America and Bush I'm sure.

Thanks for the comment - the Washington Post already has labeled Bush as insensitive, so you're on the mark. I wonder if they would have said the same had Clinton been president.

Next, they'll find that we vetoed an early-warning system that could have saved thousands of lives (just making this up, who knows if true).

But they'll comment on the tens of thousands of more deaths they'll contribute to this tragedy because of Malaria (through the banning of DDT), and other preventable causes. They get a free pass.
