In America, maybe everywhere, we feel like we know our celebrities. Bob Woodruff is one we’re just getting to know, following a hard act – Peter Jennings. News of his severe injury in Iraq by a terrorist bomb is, perhaps, more personal than the 2238 U.S. soldiers, the other journalists, and the untold numbers of Iraqis who have died in the last three years in Iraq. It shouldn’t be, but it just is.
Reports that he’s out of surgery, and stable, are encouraging – but only a little. What’s happening in Iraq is brutal, from any perspective. It’s just brutal, that’s all.
Or even “brutal.”
Heh.
Whoops…
Thanks
