Hi Tom >The Privateer puts out a good read to that effect

I'm sure, if anyone knows about piracy it should be a privateer! I was always amused at that name and used to think it was a good term for a gynaecologist.

I'm sure he's right, though. IMO, 911 and the "war on terrorism" has more to do with the predicament which the US economy is in than a handful of mad/bad guys around the place carrying out Jihad. Unfortunately, I don't think stealing someone else's stuff helps when one is in trouble. In fact, it often makes things worse. It's my opinion and experience that there's a kind of morality which governs actions, not only between people, but between nations. I guess it's my Buddhist views coming out.

I trust you had a good holiday in the mountains and that it wasn't too hot. I'm fine thanks, keeping a close watch on developments, as usual.
