The Valley's Not So Civil War

This is a long article in today's LATimes Magazine. It's well worth a read.

In Central California, Mark Arax sees what fear--over terrorism, over our commitment in Iraq--can do to a community. Hatred between Right and Left. Hawk and Dove. Too bad they aren't listening to one grieving parent, who found some peace.

That subhead doesn't begin to cover it. A lot about christian-zionists, neocons, self-hating lefty and right-wing Jews, communists, Okies, Mexicans, raisin farmer Victor Davis Hanson and his pal the frog farmer, dead Marines, in short, all the crap Bush has got us into and how it's being exploited. Oh, yeah, there's a little about how Israel figures into the picture.
