Either way, I always enjoy reading your blog because genuine intellectuals are difficult to find.Btw, with regards to your last comment - you might be interested in what a <b>Canadian</b> UN Observer had to say about the sad topic of civilian deaths (and also sadly, his own): <a href="http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=37278180-a261-421d-84a9-7f94d5fc6d50" rel="nofollow">Human Shield Tactics</a> Dave thanks for all the new info and links – the news is very depressing, isn’t it?

Right now I'm reading a book by Charles Seife titled "Decoding The Universe" (w/ a very long subtitle). So far it's really a wonderful book.
