Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that the state has lost its mind is intolerable, and so the evidence has to be internally denied. - Arthur Miller

That quote appears on the homepage of a great site, The Fire this Time, detailing the gruesome destruction that lay in the wake of the war in the Gulf and the ideology that is driving a return to that area. The site actually advertises a CD which, in documentary fashion, includes snippets of interviews and narration, providing "a permanent record of the fate of Iraq" against a soundscape of (sometimes disturbing) contemporary electronic music.
