A couple of good articles

This isn't really politics, it's information warfare, but:

The Bubble, brief commentary from Global Guerrillas on 4th generation warfare and information system use, and the On War: Blinders, a similar blog post on the same topic from Defence and the National Interest.

That's a very interesting and thought-provoking article. I think there are some people who voluntarily live in a bubble, and a sort of insanity follows. (Like the religious extremists, for (a poor) example.)
