- DoreenMichele 7y agoTo clarify how awful the news is: The predicted the Kuwaiti oil fires would burn for years and be a global disaster. When they were put out in six months because crack teams from around the world converged on Kuwait and invented new techniques, we did not break out the champagne and dance in the streets around the world. We barely noticed as we moved on to talking about our latest crisis. It's essentially brainwashing. It's not objective reality. Objective reality would celebrate something like that as vigorously as we lamented the expected coming disaster. But we never do.
