I will talk to cnns sanjay gupta about why eating more of this and less of this might help you live longer. But first heres my take. Watching the gruesome isis execution videos i felt some of the same emotions i did after 9 11. Its designed to provoke anger and its succeeded, but in september of 2001 it also made me ask a question, why do they hate us . I tried to answer it in an almost 7,000 essay for newsweek that struck accord with the readers. I reread it this week to see how it might need updating in the 13 years since i wrote it.

If there was any doubt as to who the enemy is we all now know very clearly in the ugliest possible way who this enemy is. Were going to go after them and eradicate them. Were going after them wherever they are, with everything we have. But its not the beginning and certainly not the end.

Scientists and advocates also voicing their anger. All of this happening across the country including new york city where Morgan Radford is live and ali vitali is washington, d. C. , where things are just getting started. Reporter were out here in the rain and scientists and researchers alike, you can hear the crowd around me amping up on their walk over. As weve talked about today, this is one of hundreds of marches internationally on this earth day and here specifically in d. C. , theres a political aspect of this.
