That’s the word that jumped out at me from the responses to a Pew Poll, via Froomkin:

And Pew once again asked an open-ended question, asking respondents for the word that best describes the situation in Iraq these days.

The most frequently volunteered expressions were mess, bad, terrible, sad, horrible, disaster, hopeless, chaos, confused, disappointing, bring troops home, disgusting, tragic and unfortunate.

Bingo. We’ve got that right.

Now we need to make one more connection:

Get people to start asking themselves who profits from disaster.
