I hate how terrorism and the war in Iraq have come to dominate debate
so. I notice that Gautam and JDG rarely post these days, and there is
no-one to staunchly dispute the centrist viewpoints we all seem to
espouse (Dan excepted). There is no right answer, we surely all know
that, but the debate to find one must go on, or we sink into
self-absorbed narcissism.
Other things are going on too. Is this the victory of Osama, that we are
so focused on fear that we forget the future?

I think that it is important that we debate Iraq and believe that part of
the reason that supporters of the administration contribute to the debate
is that their position has become so indefensable.
All that being said, I agree that there are many other interesting things
to discuss and the list has become far too quiet.
Pump it up, people!
