It’s Not All About Us

Michael Totten writes about who we are at war with, and who they are at war with:

The overwhelming majority of Islamist killers aren’t terrorists. They are soldiers and members of state-sanctioned death squads. Most victims of Islamists violence aren’t Westerners…they’re the Islamists’ fellow Muslims.

I also find it frustrating that these calls for ending the program are for the wrong reasons, when the best reason is (and always has been) that the program is a ghastly failure from the standpoint of cost and making spaceflight routine, which was its original goal.

The Age Of Exploration Isn’t Over

Not even on earth. Not even in California.

McDermott says he’s never laid eyes on the nearly 400-foot waterfall that park officials recently discovered in a remote corner of the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, 43,000 acres of wilderness in northern California.
