Daydream hypothetical

Thoughts on this post from Kurt Campbell at the NYT

"For the Iraq architects – or Iraqitects — life goes on and there is very little in the way of public accountability or introspection. Everything remains, well, normal"

What would I do if I bumped into Paul Wolfowitz or Donald Rumsfeld at O'Hare or a bookstore, or some other public place?? Hmmm I don't know, its hard to predict. I think my immediate gut reaction would be to turn away and walk quickly in the other direction to avoid contamination. But, as with most immediate reactions you might find yourself tossing and turning later that day about what you "coulda, shoulda, woulda" have done... I'm sure I would be curious too to just observe how someone in their position behaves when they "return to normality" after what we can only assume is some major cognitive dissonance and non-chalance and arrogance about the downstream death and destructive effects of their warmongering policies. So hypothetically, I could "upgrade" my response to perhaps engaging them in some sort of friendly conversation and then where at the last minute I give them a sincere piece of my mind while all the while maintaining some sort of composure to drive home the message that they were so so wrong. Then in my dreams they would say " yes of course you're right, its so hard to live with myself these days, this is the LAST STRAW, I'm going to start a non-profit to promote world peace and decrease our dependence on oil from the middle east. Thank you for helping me make this decision!" Hollywood fairy tale ending. Anyway there are some really good comments posted too after that post.
