It's not a circle-jerk if the very fabric of spacetime is in on it. Even if you are left out. The world is slowly coming around, piece by piece. I predict the process will visibly accelerate in a few months time. Victory is proof. In a few years, that which you mistake for the world will be reduced to a fringe of die-hard cranks that nobody takes seriously. Will you be among them?

Some lead. Some follow. Some get out of the way. The rest get run over. Strangely, the ones who get run over seem to enjoy the martyrdom. They fairly throw themselves under the wheels. Thus do they thumb their noses at a recalcitrant cosmos. After a while, the cosmos doesn't seem to take much notice anymore.

Saddam as a gnat. That may yet prove prophetic. The future lies ahead, and he's not in it.
