So not blowing ourselves up , up to now means that we will never do ? Strange logic fallacy but I've heard it before.

No, avoiding blowing ourselves up (or summering ourselves out?) means we had much bigger things to be afraid of than capital-t Terrorism. For what it's worth, I believe that instead of starting a war and an occupation, when the Taliban said they were ready to give ObL up on condition the US provide some evidence he was behind WTC, they could've simply been taken up on their offer. (Similar goes for "WMD")

  Let's just (pace namer of the kwisatz haderech) call the true Shaitan by its name: meretrocracy :) [Fwiw I have not Figured out the right orthography (including case, number of R's etc)]

        Until I looked up the original and discovered that "recaps" was meant to be taken literally, I was ready to be impressed*, as I'm a fan of those trailers that tell different stories, eg: death star as insurance fraud, or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekXxi9IKZSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekXxi9IKZSA (an interpretation so strong, it even continues to work for the sequel) which implication specifically? (for me zero extension is that set about which all predicates, even normally contradictory ones, are true) in space-time anyway the GP appears to have had quite a bit of geometric extension, even in eigentime.

        Most actual (not fictional) archaeology grads today (imex) tend to go to Wilson.. Because that's where the palatable politics lies waiting to be discovered! (And it's cheap and inflation controlled!) Not sure about Europe.. politico-economic considerations may get there soon?
