Iran Drumbeat Watch: Really Getting Ready for War?
A few days ago I argued that a U.S. strike against Iran would be a more reckless step than any modern President has taken, and therefore is unlikely -- and that the threatened Israeli strike would be so self-destructive of Israel's long-term interests that "even" PM Netanyahu was likely to hold back. One reader replied that a "psychological inversion" may have already occur
Leon Wieseltier Thinks You Can Never Have Enough War
I haven’t read Rachel Maddow’s new book, Drift.  That is because, unlike The New Republic's Leon Wieseltier, I am not a book critic. I am a national security professional.  This means that – also unlike Wieseltier – I spend my days immersed in the thinking and writing of defense experts and policymakers – in the U.S. government, in the military, in other nations, in the non-governmental sector.

No, it has nothing to do with the post, but c'mon, I'm trying to sell books here. Up until my last novel, I’d never written in first person much beyond the occasional flash fiction piece.

RIP, Britannica
So the Encyclopedia Britannica is dead. OK, not dead, just digital, but it’s all the same to me. I suppose it makes sense. The idea of a printed work that summarizes all the world’s meaningful knowledge was always a bit presumptuous, but the speed with which science and technology now make obsolete existing information has hammered a steep Malthusian angle into the learning curve.

The religious right and their traditional family of lies
From the Texas Patriots' Tea Party web site. No, of course they aren't promoting a theocracy.

Long Range Missiles Of Any Kind

Getting reality in your TV: characterization, continuity, and competence
