‘Insanity, insanity’

Re “U.S. expects rise in troop casualties,” May 7

This reminds me of Marlon Brando as Col. Kurtz in “Apocalypse Now” chanting, “Insanity, insanity.” The Bush administration’s strategy seems to be that if what we have done up to now doesn’t work, let’s do more of it and get more people killed.

And what is this doing buried back on Page A7? Have we become so blase about this disaster that it is less important than the “Spider-Man 3” box office, Rudy Giuliani’s divorces and Hermes shopping bags, all on the front page?
