Stardate 20011113.2240 (On Screen via long range sensors): Simply amazing: Peace activists in Seattle yesterday demanded that the bombing in Afghanistan stop. Never mind that it now appears that a few more days of bombing may wrap up the war, and that supplies will start flowing into most of the nation which is no longer under control of the Taliban because it will no longer be necessary to bomb there. (For example, I suspect there won't be any more bombing in the vicinity of Kabul, for fairly obvious reasons, and the road east to Pakistan should be open by this weekend.) Haven't these people been looking at the newspapers? Don't they realize just how irrelevant they've become?
