I have little doubt that there will be another attack in the US at some point. When you have a free society like ours with porous borders, it is an extremely difficult task to stop this.

Bringing secular democracy, building a strong middle class, and ending islam's evil hold on the middle east along with bringing rights for women are the only things that will work in the long run.

This here is a war. We have no time for your liberal claptrap about root causes.

Mass legislature approves a constitutional amendment with a one man-one woman definition of marriage but allows civil unions for gays.

Hi Sgt., it surely is up there... but do you distinguish it from Musharraf's predecessors letting Khan sell nukes to North Korea?

Its all part and parcel of the same set of problems, and if it was Muslims that did this, my guess is that Southern Europe starts going crazy on immigrants.

Its all just so sad. Doesn't everybody like Spain?

It is, but out of necessity we've had to work with Musharraf for now because there are bigger fish to fry and nukes at stake.

France raised its alert level to orange today in response to the spanish bombing.

It's hardly over yet.

• The amendment, which would strip gay couples of their court-granted marriage rights, must still weather several additional votes and anticipated legislative maneuvering by opponents.
  
  The earliest a ban could end up on a statewide ballot is November 2006, more than two years after same-sex couples can start getting married in Massachusetts.
  
  It was adopted 129-69 with the help of several known advocates of gay marriage, triggering speculation that they could withdraw their support on the critical final vote needed before this year's constitutional convention ends.
  
  Due to the elaborate constitutional-amendment process, the ban must be approved by the Legislature at least three more times this year -- perhaps as soon as Thursday night -- and then again during the 2005-06 legislative session.
  
  Under a landmark high court decision issued in November and reaffirmed in February, gay marriage will become legal in Massachusetts on May 17 -- two and a half years before any constitutional amendment could go on the ballot for popular approval.

Seems pretty good to Hank, though. He and his four girlfriends are already on their way to the Suffolk County courthouse.

Does anyone know if any prominent lawyers or firms are involved in this one?

I didn't say it was. Just pointing out this has been a bad day for the proponents of gay marriage.

That is Club with all the girlfriends. Hank is doing the one man-one woman thing.

Fresh off exploiting the 9/11 tragedy for partisan advantage, Bush is now running a Mohammed Horton ad. He'd better hope this stuff works quickly, because it's really going to reek seven months from now.

Your delphic comment reminds me to say something I've been meaning to say for a long, long time. Can we just drop the "war on terrorism" metaphor? I mean, obviously we won't, but it just doesn't fit. The "war/crime" dichotomy doesn't work. Obviously we are in a new paradigm that has elements of both. If not, we would be invading Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, and no one thinks that's a good idea. The campaign against terrorism is going to look an awful lot like a war sometimes, and an awful lot like a criminal investigation at others. It's a brave new world.

It only doesn't work on people like you who won't vote for Bush no matter what. The rest of us like it.

The terrorists most dangerous to the US are Arab muslims. The next most dangerous terrorists are non-Arab muslims. Should he have used a 75 year old Caucasian woman to depict a terrorist?
