Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. RRE home page: <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html> This is the last of these encyclopedic collections of URL's about the attack and war that I am going to put together. It's too much work. Besides, I feel like the fever broke today. The war talk has suddenly calmed down, having finally confronted the reality that there's no single place to drop a bomb. The whole world has now shifted into some weird new configuration, and we're going forward from there. I'd rather have the old world, obviously, but this new world has some real advantages. I am struck that American culture, amidst all of the bad feelings that anyone would have, is more thoughtful and less absorbed with trivia than it was last month. Maybe the rageaholics will even lose their grip on our political system. We'll have to see. We're going to have civil liberties controversies in this new world, that's for sure, and I'll certainly be covering those. And please do keep sending URL's that represent, say, the top 5% most important URL's reporting information that people aren't going to come across by reading the major papers. I hope that everyone has been introduced to some new information sources by these reader-contributed URL's; I know I have. If anybody wants to take over the job of collating URL's related to the war, let me know. I'm not sure how that would work, exactly. Maybe I would simply announce your address to the whole list and ask people to send the stuff to you. Then you can filter and arrange them however you want. In any case, thanks to everyone who has contributed. Remember that all of the attack-related URL's that I have sent out are available on this page here: http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/sofar.html This particular page is pretty crude; if I can remember the URL for the much nicer page that a reader prepared then I will send that out as well. I realize that during the election controversy I kept promising that I would let it go, but then never did. This time, though, I hope I mean it. We're up to about 150 URL's a day, every one of which I check out myself, and it really has gotten to be a lot of work, about ten times the effort that I normally invest in running the list. I hope it has been useful. I have this theory that you are a bad person unless you believe that there are lots of people out there doing good things that you will never know about, and gathering up these resources is my way of acting on that theory. Maybe someday we'll hear the stories of the good things that people did with them. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming. war Issue Now: Does the US Have a Plan?
