"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

Thomas Friendman rocks!

This from his article today in the NY Times...

Yes, thanks to $70-a-barrel oil you can have Katyusha rockets and butter at the same time. When oil money is so prevalent, why not? Hezbollah and Iran are like a couple of rich college students who rented Lebanon for the summer, as if it were a beach house. ''C'mon, let's smash up the place,'' they said to themselves. ''Who cares? Dad will pay!'' The only thing Nasrallah didn't say to Lebanese was, ''Hey, keep the change.''

(I just like his writing...don't know enough about the Mid East to comment on the war itself...)
