Avoidance

Not as desperate as denial, avoidance is the method of choice for dealing with situations in which not only your party leader but pretty much your entire party has, with America's entire ruling class, got a really bad case of war fever without daring to call it by its name.

For anti-warriors, I mean, on the Democrat side.

Hence the virtual silence of anti-war liberal blogs on Topic A in the major media, all over Europe and America, the Ukraine.

Still, they have no trouble indirectly proving their continued loyalty to a ruling class furious, right now, with Russia and its president.

Kossacks on Putin, Wednesday morning

Oh, all right.

For a couple of days the Ukraine story has come in second behind the missing Malaysian airliner.

And on the tabloids I think it's 10th or 11th, behind Ellen's divorce and several stories about celebrity drug addicts and dieters.

Someone once coined the memorable expression, "the attention span of a dog in a field of squirrels."

(But in Europe it's still the top story, though not quite the only story.)
