Shady business

Ok ok, things have been slack around here. I need to make sure the rest of my life is working out properly, first of all. And that means there's a lot of work that needs to be done. So I will have some nice updates very soon, and I am sorry there aren't any rich pickins up right now.

Go to Antiwar.com if you want the rundown these days. People keep asking me what is the deal with Iran and Pakistan right now. That's an excellent question, and the million-dollar one for 2006. There is a big difference between threat perception and actual strategy right now.

It's all about propping up the US dollar and making sure there's a steady stream of petrodollars. In a nutshell, that's what I think ought to be looked at right now.

I promise something logical very soon. But first, Dan's disordered life needs to cohere, dammit!
