Powell's Rules
Topic: Society 2:56 pm EDT, Oct 23, 2004

Colin Powell kept a set of rules on his desk. Here are a few:

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

Get mad, then get over it.

Have a vision. Be demanding.

Check small things.

You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours.

Be careful what you choose. You may get it.

I've posted these before, but it's worth reviewing them periodically.

The real inspiration for Islamic Terrorism? Boredom
Topic: Society 6:01 pm EDT, Sep 12, 2004

] The threat to the country is very real. The large pool of
] idle youth has allowed Islamic fundamentalists to find
] easy recruits. Saudi sources say that many of the
] insurgents were in their early teens.

Since the early 90s, I've always compared Islamic fundamentalistic terrorism with the punk movement. It seems apropriate.
