Drudge has a headline about an outbreak of fighting.

BTW - anybody see "Commanding Heights" on PBS?

Yes, I've been watching Commanding Heights, and it's wonderful! There hasn't been anything this good on PBS since Milton Friedman's Free to Choose series. The second show in particular, that showed all the great kick-butt quotes of Reagan was superb! I taped it and can hardly wait for the third installment this Wednesday.

BTW, if anyone has read the book The Sovereign Individual, it details quite well the demise of Communism, but also of all the nation states. If the theories are correct, the large countries and institutions are all going the way of the dinosaur. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the US break up into several regional authorities, or even city-states.

Sure did. I had to double-check the channel to make sure I was actually watching PBS.
