That Friedman piece is brilliant & eloquent. I hope it makes it way to Bin Laden's bunker. Meanwhile, how come nobody is mentioning that 700 pounds of explosives were stolen from Houston, sometime between Saturday and Tuesday. I would think that's the origin of the FBI warning. I called local FBI but I am one of countless people reporting the email about Oct 31 and the shopping mall warning. So at least that's being taken seriously. I had a sinking feeling though, after learning about the explosives. That is as follows: they have studied us, and lived here, and they understand us better than we understand them. We can't change overnight--we "understand" this is a different kind of war, but we don't know how to live differently, it would take us years to adjust and become like Israel. How the #$& did all those explosives get stolen? We are not anticipating their next step very well. I wonder now if the cropduster stuff wasn't intentional clues left behind to distract us. And if that Oct 31 email is at all true, then they had already anticipated the length of time we might take to respond. Some conjecture here, but maybe not that far off base.
