Life is not a sitcom

So, the international newspapers here in the Amsterdam airport are hitting the U.S. hard because of the incidents with the prisoners in Iraq . It’s tough to read. Seems as if we, meaning all of us humans but particularly those who run the world, never learn. The same thing happened in Vietnam and in probably every other war fought in the world. It just goes to show: Life isn’t a “Friends” episode. As one New York Times columnist said, it’s no wonder why Americans are so taken by the end of the ”Friends” run. They WERE our only friends, and now they’re gone, too.
