Hugh Hewitt interview ed Time Magazine Baghdad bureau chief Michael Ware on Tuesday (replaying Thursday). The interview is a stunning example of how moral relativism impairs one's moral intuitions and renders their judgment nonsensical. Ware argues for a journalistic objectivity that requires moral neutrality, thus he can't discern or won't admit to a moral difference between the Iraqi and Coalition troops and the terrorists blowing up innocent Iraqis. They are just two sides of a war he must report on. Ware has spent time with the terrorists and written about their perspective with the lack of value judgment he deems necessary to journalism. It's only required to represent another point of view. In one segment of the interview, Hugh asked Ware a hypothetical question, which Ware apparently had no moral apparatus to understand. Hugh asked him whether if he'd been a reporter in World War 2, would he have reported Hitler's side of the war with the neutrality he reports on the terrorists. Ware, seemingly genuine, took the question as a logistical one, not a moral one. He said that it was impossible to compare the two wars since there was a clear front line between the Allies and Hitler that prevented reporters from crossing over and no such line prevents reporters from denon dvd 3910 eaching the terrorists in Iraq.

This is the sketch I did of the Id Kah Mosque this morning. I'm happy with my drawing here, so I've put this one in to show what I'm actually sketching. It's not great quality as it's a photo of a page, when I get home I'll scan them all in and post them as a photo album. I went to the Chini Bagh restaurant this afternoon to have a look inside the old British Consul's annoying emails ome. I was the only customer there, which was a bit eerie, but as the photos show, it's a lovely old building. I thoroughly enjoyed dining on spicy mutton livers and noodles. I had to take my own photo as there was no-one else to take one for me. The corniched and stucco-ed little rooms are quintessentially English, it is a real treasure to find this place out in the wild deserts of Xinjiang.

Here are a couple more sets of ATC's - this time using some of my CC Designs stamps and my Karen Foster Snap stamps (FYI the snap stamps are discontinued but I was told recently that KF is bringing them back in early 2008? Almost everywhere is sold out of them which is frustrating as I wanted to get another mini set and small set in the casual font! Oh well....) I stamped the Play Ball Bug onto Bazzil White CS , used Copic Markers to color him in then punched him out with my Marvy Mega Circle punch and sponged the edges. My mother in law let me borrow her pinking shears (out of all the Fiskars paper edgers I have (did YOU get sucked into buying the carousel of them at Costco b/c it was such a great price and then never used them? LOL!) not one has an edge like this!) as I wanted to mat the circle with an edge that matched the patterned paper. The paper by the way is from this DCWV stack - I just got it last week and LOVE it! There's boy papers and girl papers and zoo/animal papers and most are either embossed or have glitter on them! FUN! I used the small Karen Foster snap stamps to search engine optimization help ake the sentiment, added some ribbon and that was it! I dunno what it is but I really have a thing for Pirates lately (and yes I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and fully enjoyed myself!! I *heart* Johnny Depp........'nuff said!). I stamped the Ahoy, Matey bug onto Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up!) CS, along with the shadow spot, and used Copic Markers to color him in.
