The cataclysmic Gulf oil spill is surely a sign of our dysfunctional times. In a matter of days, men went to the moon and saved the Apollo 13 crew from going into orbit around the sun. The Hubble camera brings us beautiful insights into the mysteries of deep space. In the Afghan war, drone aircraft, piloted from thousands of miles away, attack 'terrorist enemies'.
Yet, after 40 days of trial and error they cannot plug an oil leak that now threatens to contaminate beaches and wetlands thousands of miles away.
