It’s been odd. Israel launched yet another major war, this one as insane as the previous one was genocidal, but the American press, and certainly the American public, is shrugging it off, as if Israeli war were like, say, just another mass shooting. Minus the need for thoughts and prayers (for whom?). Move along. Nothing to see. I imagine the majority of people think bombing Iran is no different than how Israel bombs Syria, Palestine and Lebanon the way most Americans like to snack before lunch, and with the American military firing missiles and dropping bombs in too many Middle Eastern and African Horn countries to count, it’s all part of the American decor now, a bit of noise, a bit of smoke. It’s all a joke to Americans anyway. You remember John McCain, that warmonger too often lionized for surviving a war emblematic of his country’s marches of folly, in Barbara Tuchman’s phrase, even when accounting for his honorable decision not to take the easy way out of the Hanoi Hilton when he had a chance. You remember that question a moron asked McCain at a town hall in 2007, we were losing Iraq and George W. Bush was losing the country and Israel was itching to bomb Iran but Bush wouldn’t let it. “When do we send them an airmail message to Tehran?” the moron asked McCain. Who would have thought that McCain would out-moron him: “You know
that old Beach Boys song
? Bomb Iran? Bomb bomb bomb…” Ha ha. He wasn’t kidding.

Skating. Ice that has not yet been skated on. Indistinguishable from water – treachery – one would think one was gliding on the water itself – the sun illuminating the ice, which acts as a mirror – and one sees oneself in it – so that, by the speed and the inclination of the body, by turning combined, I seemed to be lying in the void and looking at myself very closely, leaning over this reflection, like Narcissus.
–From André Gide’s Journal, undated, around 1898.
