#1 All eras are not alike. I remember scanning the New York Times during the Clinton era (yes, the Times was my bible back then), and many a time being unable to find a single story that might count as actual news. The relative pace of events was slow. History seemed, at minimum, to be taking a break.

That's cause your 'bible' chose like Billy Boy to ignore AQ after the first bombing under the World Trade towers. Then there was the little truck bomb at the Khorbar Towers. Of course the embassy bombings in Africa. And of course you ignored it too. Cause, you know, nothing much was going on. If the 'bible' didn't think it was important like the integration of Masters golf tourney for women, it wasn't important.

History follows the same flows as nature does in Darwinism. When one predator leaves the stage [the Soviets] another one will grow and fill the void [the Islamic Fascist]. Count on it or perish. You, like your bible, chose to ignore it. If and when the radical islamics are ground down, you can count that someone else will be awaiting another suspension of your collective brains to make its presence felt.

The work never ends till you give up and surrender. Personally I'd rather work to keep the next Dark Age at bay as long as I can.

#2 P2K you are abosolutely right.

When did this poltroon think that his "...an immense heap of unsolved problems..." piled up?

Did they emerge fully formed when GWB was elected?
