News Notes

Is Iraq a lost cause? Thomas Friedman, an early believer is losing faith. Yesterday 10 soldiers deaths were announced in Iraq. October is on track to be one of the worst months of the war.

Healthcare might be almost as decisive a topic as Iraq. David Leonhardt looks at why US healthcare does not seem to get as high a return on investment as other countries. It all depends on how you measure. US consumers want to pay more because they can. Another view is that too much money is spent in the wrong places by Boudreaux.

I have been watching a lot of Countdown, O'Reilly Report, Jon Stewart and Colbert. This New Yorker cartoon expresses the result of it all.
