"The long-term problem is as much diplomatic, as much economic, in fact more diplomatic, more economic, more political than it is military." - General Richard Myers
The term "War on Terror" is being slowly dismissed, as the Bush Administration try to redefine it in other ways. This won't please arch conservatives like Michael Savage, who thinks the military isn't doing enough to win the war. Putting diplomacy ahead of everything else will be hard, because up until now, 'nogotiating with terrorists' was unthinkable. Of course, I think this is the proper strategy, and I have said before they would have to come to this conclusion eventually, as recent history has shown, it is the only way out (i.e. the British and the IRA, Israelis and Palestinians).

I am a born-again atheist who is pro-life (I don't eat animals) and I agree with the Dalai Lama when he says "There is no creator".
Those are certainly good words of common sense. It tells us that "spirituality" has nothing to do with a belief in things supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael Savage (real name 'Wiener') so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
