Frontline - Bush's War

This past week, I watched a very interesting insight into the development and utter mismanagement of the war in Iraq. It's called Bush's War which is a little ironic, since the majority of the program shows how in-fighting and power struggles dictated the course of war as much or more than the president. In fact, he comes off looking like an outsider to the whole mess, really, even though the entire event will be attributed to him in the history books.

Speaking of history, I believe this series should be required viewing for anyone casting a vote this Fall. Keep in mind that the president not only has the power to declare war (and apparently to thwart the constitution), but also to put cabinet members in place who ultimately advise him (or her) on these world-changing decisions. While I've mentioned that I like this mix of candidates better than any I can remember, I'll be taking a deeper dive into how they manage others.

The entire show is available to view online by clicking on the link above. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
