"Before Abu Ghraib, before Fallujah, in fact just weeks before the whole shock and awe campaign was to launch, came news of a preemptive strike -- on memory. The stealth attack was initiated by clever scientists who thought not of a cure for infectious greed, or a vaccine against the plague of moral relativism, but instead prepared to market a pill that will help us forget what we cannot bear to remember."
Fantastic. Nothing less than a pharmaceutical shock-and-awe attack against our collective conscience. Now we can slaughter whole cities of brown people with unfeigned neurological impunity.
Pangs of regret? Bring 'em on!
