GLOBAL CULTURE WAR
It is a war that goes to the very essence of being human.When Individuals and nations have once seized upon the abstraction of freedom itself it has more than any other thing, boundless power, just because it is the very being of Mind, its very reality.

Muslim on Muslim Violence: What Drives It?
by Salim MansurSince Samuel Huntington's widely read Foreign Affairs's essay, published in the summer 1993 issue of the journal, the idea of "the clash of civilizations" has come to be the most handy explanation of the troubled relationship between the Muslim world and the West. Huntington's phrase, "Islam has bloody borders," was provocative and yet not inaccurate. Islamic or, more appropriately, Muslim militancy has fuelled a mindless and bigoted conflict, civilizational in nature, that sort of peaked with the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001.

Fighting Urban Crime: The Evolution of Federal-Local Collaboration
Although rare before the mid-1980s, Federal-local law enforcement collaboration has grown rapidly as local police and prosecutors have worked closely with Federal authorities to address increased levels of drug trafficking and violent crime. This Research in Brief examines the rise of Federal-local collaboration, the various types of collaborations such as task forces and grant-funded programs, and the advantages collaboration offers both local and Federal authorities. Despite some observers' concerns about the "federalization of crime," most partnerships have been characterized by restraint, careful coordination, and shared operational leadership. Researchers found that collaboration has become institutionalized in many U.S. cities and is likely to expand in the future.http://www.ncjrs.org/txtfiles1/nij/197040.txt

The Bush administration has said that President George W. Bush plans to sign the bill into law.

Laser Grips by Crimson Trace
While I'm a fan of laser and light accessories for firearms, I prefer those designs that have a minimal affect on the external dimensions of the weapon. With shoulder-fired weapons this isn't as much of an issue. With pistols, additions often mean different holsters and restricted options. Not much can be done about this where flashlights are concerned. It's near impossible to create a flashlight that produces a practical amount of light but doesn't affect the outside dimensions of the pistol. Lasers are easier: and Crimson Trace makes a laser aiming device that doesn't affect the external dimensions of the pistol at all.
