There is a lot of random speculation in my aggregator today about "surgical" strikes by the US in Iran. It's unthinkable that the same process that led to the disastrous occupation of Iraq could stand, uncorrected, and get us into a much more serious conflict with Iran, one which we won't "win," (Bush's plan for Iraq, ludicrous) no matter what we do. When will we take control of our government and stop this?

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
