I will take a look at that book.

"it does have a bump in it that could be described as a primitive central nervous system"

We need a bioligist here Mike. I think if its not tied together in some way, its movements will resemble local movements and me erratic and uncoordinated for the most part. Also it will have less of an ability to go international. Thats good news for the US where the internal threat seems less than in other parts of the world. Its bad news for the Brits with their south asian problem and france with its african problem which might even get worse without al quaeda central to reign in terror or at least control it. A whole bunch of crazies may take their best shot post bin laden.

Someone had to orchestrate 9/11. Without bin laden and with the difficulty in succession that i described in earlier post, i think that it will be much harder to do. What did you think about Kumars article about musharifs betrayal? Message 23562298

<<Eliminating OBL and Zawahiri will neither disrupt operations nor recruiting. AQ has grown way beyond a coupla of whacky guys with an idea. AQ has something much larger than those two driving it now. AQ has highly motivated religious fervor going for it. AQ members do not consider Jihad a battle. They accept Jihad as a permanent lifestyle and prefer to die in battle.>>

That gives me the feeling that somewhere down the road, probably past my life, things are going to get really ugly and people's lifestyles will regress rather than progress.
