Here is those pictures that were promised below. This is sort of a photoblog of my commute to work. I get out the door and this is what I see:  A short distance into my trip and I look right and see this:  A few metres further on, a better look at Frank Clair Stadium across the canal. This is where the Ottawa Renegades of the CFL play:  Two kilometres further along and I cross Billings Bridge over the Rideau River:  After two hill climbs, I get to the railway bridge on Bank Street:  Almost at work. Looking East on Leitrim Road:  Well, that's the commute, basically. I know the pictures leave something to be desired...I'm new at this. Enjoy. Wednesday, July 23, 2003
The deaths of the distasteful sons of Hussein are a postive step in this whole war thing. The only shadow upon the acheivement is that it was not possible to take them alive. There are two basic reasons for this. One is simply that they might well have had useful information, such as the location of their dear old dad. The other is that their deaths may well lend them, in the eyes of those Iraqis and other Arabs who still keep the faith, a legitimacy in death that they lacked in life. Dead martyrs are far more dangerous to the cause of the West on the Arab 'street' than live war criminals. Well executed operation by the 101 Airborne and assorted Special operations units.

I missed Blair's speech to the U.S. Congress. Check out the transcript. This passage really spoke to me: Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.Amen, brother Tony, amen.
