Small bombings in europe and United States to make whatever point they had and the problem was they did not have a what they were doing. Alqaeda didnt really have a point. Unless you want to believe that they want a global caliphate. But its such a fantasy world that they have lived in that they didnt, i think its fair to say they didnt have a real political strategic aim in anything that they were doing. And so i think to look at it in those terms it makes it easy to understand all they were really trying to do in real terms is provoke us. And they did a damn good job of that. And thats why i think the response that weve had to this has been far worse from our point of view than what the original attack was. Because we have transformed our society in response to a group that never really represented a serious threat to us in any meaningful way. And they were like the anarchists in which common meaning they could inflict small attacks and they could kill some people, but there was no g
Which just happens to be matched up a pretty closely to the former soviet union. This this is what he wants his legacy to be a longterm for him, and thinks he will be learning running the country. So this the first piece of context. Ukraine is particularly important. Particularly important for a couple reasons. What one is history.

Gossip and rumor is the coin of the political realm, so its not surprising that these rumors of someones demise continue to perpetuate. I thought it was so funny that Chris Brennan actually tracked him down. Yeah. And took a selfie and said, no, hes not locked up. Hes actually right here. So, i think in terms of what happens to him next, it all depends on whether or not another shoe drops. So i think if there are any Legal Proceedings that look like an indictment or anything like that, i think that therell be much more pressure. Sam, some people dont want him to resign because then theyd have to appoint a new d. A. , and that person then would get a leg up if they wanted to run. But at a certain point, is it something worth thinking about . Like, can he be effective at all . Well, he has a fairly stiff financial burden hanging over his head from the city ethics committee. I believe he has a 62,000 liability to be repaid, so cutting himself off from his source of income may not be the m
