Industrie Toulouse: Just Guessing
In a photo-op with Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi yesterday, President Bush said that the CIA was just guessing as to what the conditions might be like, in post-invasion Iraq. In particular is the guess that the county would slip into Civil War
An Interesting Question
Matt asks an interesting question:
This ultimately comes down to how one views the human race: Are we the inheriters of the Earth, free to do with it as we will? Or, are we the stewards of the Earth, responsible for looking out for others species? Or, are we just a cog in the wheel, our actions no more or less unplanned or unintented by Mother Nature?
Personally, I think we are stewards.

Garrison Keillor on the Republican Party
Garrison Keillor, yes THE Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame, the man who I fondly remember listening to back in my youngest days, tears apart the Republican Party:
Our beloved land has been fogged with fear–fear, the greatest political strategy ever. An ominous silence, distant sirens, a drumbeat of whispered warnings and alarms to keep the public uneasy and silence the opposition. And in a time of vague fear, you can appoint bullet-brained judges, strip the bark off the Constitution, eviscerate federal regulatory agencies, bring public education to a standstill, stupefy the press, lavish gorgeous tax breaks on the rich.
