Well, that's a pretty clear plan. 2002

I recommend reading Ted Rall's column entitled "HOW TO WIN THE WAR ON TERRORISM: Constructive Suggestions Bush Will Surely Ignore". Succinct, intelligent, useful. Unfortunately, yes, probably ignored by the U.S. administration since their standing in the polls and profits for their many corporate connections are much more important to them than the safety of the American people.

[Thanks to Anil for the link and his enduring intelligence and raw sexuality. Yes, Anil, I agree; it's not productive or accurate to label the LAX incident as terrorism. Similarly, Chris and I had a conversation about some gang-related violence in which he convinced me that it it's not useful to consider treating such small-scale (and in that case only vaguely political) acts as terrorism, despite the resultant terror.]

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
