There is an odd quiet globally. The Middle East is seeing tension easing across the board. Tensions between Russia and the Czechs or Georgians have mounted, but nothing like they could have. The Chinese are tense but managing the run-up to the Olympics and the oil price rise as well as can be expected. Nothing appears to be coming apart at the seams. There are these periods occasionally, but they are usually followed by widespread disruptions and crises. Therefore, this is the time to focus on the quiet, looking to detect the disruptions.

Michael Scheuer and Peter Zeihan on the NIE and al Qa'ida
7/18/07 -- Fox News/O'Reilly Factor: Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's bin Laden joins Peter Zeihan of Stratfor.com to discuss al Qa'ida in light of the new Intelligence Estimate. Scheuer agrees that the U.S. has failed to neutralize the effect of al Qa'ida and also believes that still very few understand al Qa'ida. He believes the NIE is correct in that "al Qa'ida is still in operation and we have a second tier of threat from people who are instigated and inspired by bin Laden". Zeihan points out important differences between today's al Qa'ida and the al Qa'ida of 2001 that had international financing, freedom to move and simultaneous planning activities in multiple regions.

After Final Debate McCain Supporters Yell "KILL OBAMA!"
Like I said, they were yelling KILL OBAMA!
November 8, 2008
The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.
The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.
The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.
Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset...

This Love - Harry Potter Song Parody
Hey Wierdgirl, here. Another song with changed lyrics. Pure Ron and Hermione fluff!
MAROON 5 LYRICS (a harry potter song parody written by Wierdgirl5834 based on Maroon 5's this girl)
"This Girl"
I was such an idiot I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
Her intelligence controlled my mind
I got her to leave her books again
Always making me so insane, always in my heart
This girl has taken her toll on me
We bickered and argued too many times before
What's her obsession with Viktor Krum?
I have no choice cause I won't let Krum get her anymore
I wish everything would be alright
I think about her every night
Being on a magic broomstick ride
Just knowing how much Krum's so lame
Wanting and hoping it'll be the same
Then turn around and leave again
This girl has taken its toll...
