[Blunderov] I found this at about.com. It reminds me of a famous model who
is said to have remarked that a famine-struck African country was a good
place to keep slim, but was too full of flies and death and stuff.

Her Beautiful Mind?
There has been growing debate about whether the American media should be
allowed to air footage of the coffins of American soldiers killed in Iraq
and Afghanistan returning home. Some think that it would help Americans
better understand the costs of the war. Others fear that it would inflame
passions. Barbara Bush, mother of President George W. Bush, has her own
special take on the issue.
Joyce Marcel writes for Common Dreams:
"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths," Barbara Bush said on ABC's
"Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So
why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"
Hmmm... why indeed should we hear about the deaths that result from our
actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. And if it is a "waste" to hear about
American deaths, how less important must it be to hear about the deaths of
Iraqis? I'm not sure, however, that such a sentiment could be expressed by
someone with much of a "mind" at all - beautiful or otherwise.
