Here are some more URL's relating to the terror attacks and war fever. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If you notice that certain topics or viewpoints are missing from these lists of URL's, don't assume that I have excluded them -- assume that nobody is sending them to me. It's enough work putting these lists together that I have little time to assure balance by searching the Web on my own. Can I please ask people to send URL's relating to the countries where US military intervention is most likely? A good place to start would be countries facing violent Islamist opposition movements, such as Egypt, Uzbekistan, and Algeria. Relevant items might include reports from human rights organizations, English-language media from the countries including the government and opposition movements, think tank reports, current press articles, and directories of online resources. The Bush people are talking about taking the war to no fewer than sixty countries, and if that happens we'll all be getting quite a geography lesson. Might as well get ready. Because I'm asking for a lot of information here, I would greatly appreciate if you could quality-control whatever you send. In other words, just send the high-quality materials. Thanks very much. I'm impressed by how few duplicates I am getting. Dozens of people are sending me stuff, but I would guess that 10% of it duplicates something I've already got. I'm not sure what that means, except perhaps that the ocean of stuff that we're dipping into is vastly larger than the stuff I ever see. But that seems hard to believe.
