Jeff Jarvis: "The war in Iraq is not like Vietnam. It is like World War II. It is a war against fascism." Just a reminder of why we did it ...
Nicholas Kristof: "I doff my hat, briefly, to President Bush.
Sudanese peasants will be naming their sons "George Bush" because he scored a humanitarian victory this week that could be a momentous event around the globe — although almost nobody noticed. It was Bush administration diplomacy that led to an accord to end a 20-year civil war between Sudan's north and south after two million deaths."
Businessweek: Talks about wikis and how cool they are. Wikis are basically websites where anybody can make changes to the content ... it's a collaborative effort in maintaining content. It's been incredibly useful for sites like Wikipedia, which is an online encylopedia where the entries are created and maintained by the masses.

And as for warning dictators.... wth is North Korea doing? If anything, Kim Jong Il is merely waiting for OUR regime to be changed, not the other way around. And North Korea is the country that if anything we should be most scared about, not Libya or any other rogue state that is North Korea\'s customer.

P.S. It would be nice for you to leave a bit more in terms of contact information next time. I\'m pretty sure I know who you are based on how you came here and where you\'re connected to on the Internet, but I don\'t want to jump to conclusions :)

Furthermore, obviously this war is nothing like WWII. Lucky for us, the losses are only a fraction of the prices paid during WWII.
This war, as I have always emphasized it, has always centered around Hussein. Had he stepped down, we would of avoided all this. In any case, this war\'s primary goal was to remove Saddam, and is thus a war against fascism. Whether or not you feel comfortable with the fact that this was never explictly stated in the early stages of the pre-war drumb-beating is up to you.
