Hey Ice Runner: Thought about you the other day. A hot item in some businesses now is the "Fish" concept based on Pike Place Fish Market, noted for the flying fish throwers of course. Saw a presentation on it the other day.

Hope all is as well as can be expected up your way.

Scott, Afghanistan is not the problem.. I realize that
their nation is already very closely living in the Stone Age
and their people are under the thumb

how does one root out rats from caves?
one by one, unfortunately

I expect to see much chest-pounding over bombing raids
but it will accomplish only...

RE-ARRANGEMENT OF ROCK AND SAND
and growing resentment by Islamic nations

the less the United States uses weapons of mass destruction,
the more likely we keep other Islamic nations out of a war

Afghan people have been victimized
I will never forget the cover picture of National Geographic about 1988
some 14-yr old boy, handsome, with sterling green eyes
he was a young Afghany living amidst Soviet occupation

the binLaden camps are not only 1000 miles from the ocean,
but they are easily moved
bomb them, and you bomb sand and rock

use the Koran to our advantage
Moslems are a peaceful people
I was stunned to see a soccer game in Teheran, Iran
the players and entire stadium stopped to pay tribute
not to the hyjackers, but to the NYCity victims

in 1995 I had the pleasure of meeting an Iranian named Koveh
it was (of all places) at Sunday River ski resort in Maine
he is a biotech scientist in Boston, an Iranian immigrant
he said 95% of all Iranians love America
and they did so all during the Iran Hostage situation
he took me offguard though
he said the Iranian people thought the US Army would come to rid their country of Khomeini and the evil Mullahs
I told him he was dreaming, that we misunderstand Iran

very consistent strains of thought
many Islamic led nations have citizens who feel imprisoned
true of Afghanistan, probably Iran still, even Iraq under Saddam

so complicated, DuckMan
simple solutions will not work
simple views will lead to more violent incidents
those who call us The Great Satan are themselves Princes of Satan

we need to focus more attention on non-profit firms working in this country, our country, the USA
they are fronts for terrorist groups, operating as cells
they coordinate, they organize, they facilitate
right under our noses

strangely last night, I wondered if any NYCity Mafia were killed at WTC
they can get far more done against binLaden than the USArmy
they know how to deal with people like binLaden
we dont
