Yes indeed! The reality based world is such a bummer ;-). As President Bush has said, someone just has to report the good stuff that is happening in Iraq and we will win the war overnight. The pesky Kashmiris, Muslims, suicidal farmers would all vanish as so much

Hey, whatever happened to the old idea that capitalism is full of
