Last week I picked up Bob Harris’ latest book: “Who Hates Whom: Well-Armed Fanatics, Intractable Conflicts, and Various Things Blowing Up: A Woefully Incomplete Guide.” It gives you background on the various (& sadly, numerous) hot spots around the globe. Each region of the world has it’s own section & all of the bad news is a little easier to swallow with the help of Bob’s wit & humor. I just finished up the entry for Kashmir & next up is “Nepal (with Bhutan added for extra enlightenment).” I highly recommend you check it out.
Also, if any of you out there still think Dubya really gives a crap about your safety go read this post at Bob Harris’ blog. Then wander off muttering obscenities…
