Allow me to make a book recommendation:

Click the cover to find out more. The book was first published last year (pre-Uday/Qusay/Saddam/Abu Ghraib/insurgency) -- but it's an excellent primer on the state of the planet, even if you think you already know foreign affairs.

1. I'm getting a "Cannot find server" message

That being said. What the majority of Americans know about the rest of the world could probably fit in a thimble.

2. Corrected, sorry.

That darn kooky DU-HTML got me again.

3. Thanks! Always on the lookout for good books.

I'll see if my library has it & if not ask them if they will get it. It's amazing how often they will do that. If not, I'll get it myself, then give it to them. Everyone wins.

I just finished Will Pitt's book, "The Greatest Sedition is Silence." It was very, very good. I especially like the end where he offers suggestions of things that need to be done if we're going to get back on track.

on edit: How wierd. I see your avatar on my post & all my other posts as well. ?????
