We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompsonβs ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

"Move to Boston," they said.
"Our winters have gotten so mild," they said.
"Okay!" I said.
"I'm not afraid of snow," I said.
Then "Oh f@ck!" I said again, and again, and now it seems, once again.
"What is a syllabus?" I say, again, and again, and now it seems, once again.

thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing
allegations of Donald Trump raping children ... of Donald Trump
threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look

these women are incredible. theyβve been unflinching and relentless in their demands for justice. and in a media ecosystem better suited to tabloid-y takes, they refuse to cede the narrative or to be cowed by the *whole* DOJ. incredible.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactionsβ¦ and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What theyβre showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJβs redactionsβnot the original FBI redactions. Theyβre in blatant violation of the law.
