I read about the Burma situation and I see a pattern - people all over the world are imploring President Bush and/or the US to come save them. People in Burma, Darfur, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela are all saying - "didn't you say: it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. , Mr. Bush? Why don't you come help us fight our tyranny?" IMHO, we are just not geared to fight the type of mini-war we need to in the 21st century. The US military is this huge behemoth which can only do stuff huge behemoths can do - wage big war on countries. We need to learn to wage little war on little tyrannies - both formal ones like the countries above, and informal ones like al Qaeda. I discuss how our military should be more like Unix instead of Windows, and bore you with my armchair military strategy. The Hillary camp now threatens a second magazine with no access to Bill if they run an article on Hillary. I bet the article is pretty even handed, but still they squash it. I guess freedom of the press will be the first to go under The Hillary. Since its Friday, I do a wrap-up of this years crop of shows that I'm watching, Heroes, of course rocks, Journeyman looks promising, Bionic Woman is LAME, Big Bang Theory has a little promise, Back To You got better in the second show. Eureka of course still rocks. Less
