This article by Norman Podhertz is most likely worth our time, judging by what people I trust say.
I first posted on the idea and renaming the "War on Terror" WW IV here, a year plus ago now. There I proposed that WW 4 started, not with the attacks of 9-11, but with the first of radical Muslim terrorist attacks on the West at the Olympics in Munich, Germany, September 5, 1972.
That they attacked and killed 11 Israelis was not necessarily new or an omen for the West. That they killed Israeli Olympian athletes and did this at the Olympics, the western venue for good will and good natured but spirited competions between the respectable nations of the world, is the first manifestation (as far as I can see) of their opposition to the West, indeed the rest of the world.
No man can be a Politician, except he be first an Historian or a Traveller; for except he can see what Must be, or what May be, he is no Politician: Now, if he have no knowledge in story, he cannot tell what hath been; and if he that not been a Traveller, he cannot tell what is: but he that neither knoweth what hath been, nor what is; can never tell what must be, or what may be.

Chrenkoff:Iraq's Progress (Pt. 18) and Tsunami Update
If you ever find yourself at point when the MSM is depressing, and you want to get a bird's eye view of progress in Iraq, the best place to go is Chrenkoff (listed in right-hand column). He posts mammoth, comprehensive digests of the progress in Iraq. Here is the latest. Others are usually listed in his right-hand column.
If that wasn't enough--this guy is amazing--he puts together, or has been since the Tsunami struck, Tsunami updates, which, again, are exhaustive. Here is the latest.
I think Chrenkoff might be unemployed....
