Something to Watch .... finally

There is an excellent series on PBS right now called America at a Crossroads which engages the dilema the US is facing with the Iraq War. It's an eleven part documentary series spread over six days. It's on tonight at nine, I believe. Two one hour episodes called The Gangs of Iraq and The Case for War.

I watched the two episodes yesturday, Warriors and Homecoming, one which followed six soldiers in Iraq just to see what their daily lives were like, long moments of boredom with flashes of chaos; the other looked at soldiers that had come home and put their experiences on paper as stories or poems, and it talked with other soldiers from other wars that had done the same. Both shows were excellent.

Hockey is on too, but whatever.
