First - welcome back. Game three today for the Tribe and Yankees. Ah, many, many games to go. I saw one of the Indians/Yankees playoff games last fall at Yankee Stadium. I expect to see another this fall. (So what's the icon for fingers crossed, knock on wood?) I agree that global pollution is a large deal. No question. But I don't think we should put policies in place that not only ignore it, but head toward an isolationist foreign policy. Moreover, I think that if we get started with an aggressive program, it might well get emulated, it might well be the basis for global agreements, etc. It's not our preaching that should be our policy; the Bush folk make that mistake repeatedly. It's our example. I continue to think that the frame which approaches this problem as if each country were isolated, subject only to its own government policy, is a mistake. Globalization is not only a market phenomenon, it's an ideational one as well. We've been losing the ideational one for the last 8 years. Combatting global warming is one of the places the US needs to take the lead.
