>> I suggest to all that if you believe in God, begin praying now (even if you
>> don't, at a time like this, how could it hurt?)
>>
>> The US appears poised to form, (of necessity, I argue), yet another unsavory
>> alliance, at least in the eyes of some. Pakistan, a nuclear power, has
>> suggested that it will get behind the US if it wishes to launch an attack
>> against Bin Laden forces in Afghanistan, or the Taliban government itself.
>>
>> Pakistan is a country that is 1/2 of the world's most potentially dangerous
>> hotspot, a sworn enemy of gigantic nuclear military power India.
>>
>> If you'll recall when the terrorist act first happened, India was quick to
>> jump on board and condemn Pakistan as a state with ties to the Taliban and
>> Afghanistan. The US has sanctions against Pakistan.
>>
>> What to do now? Do we accept Pakistan as an ally, and risk alienating India?
>> These are extremely tortorous straits ahead. It does little good to call our
>> leader "Baby" at this time, as it seems that both Solomonic wisdom and
>> Divine intervention are required. I, for one, will stand up and say I'm glad
>> I voted for Bush, now more than ever, but I'd sure as hell be behind 100%
>> Gore as well.
>>
>> Nice job, human nature. You've managed to get the world 1 year into the new
>> millenium before bringing it to the brink of world nuclear war.
>>
>> Music now, more than ever. np., Cinematic Orchestra, Motion.
>> Weather Report,
>> Mysterious Traveller
>> Beethoven, Symphony
>> 7, 2nd movement
>> (check it out...
>> there's no more apt music)
