GAUNTLET THROWN: President Bush called for the top 15 greenhouse gas producing nations, including the U.S., to set a goal for reducing the pollution by the end of 2008.

HOT TOPIC: The announcement could deflect criticism during next week's summit of leading industrialized nations, where global warming is sure to be discussed.

CLEARING THE AIR: The countries would begin talks this fall, but each would be able to develop its own strategy.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm confused. Aren't we fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here?

What happened to that?

Britan is not here for one thing. Also, there was no fighting in Britan.

So the fact they were going to blow up planes on the way to America is of no consequence to you?

No fighting in Britain? Where were you last summer? Obviously you weren't using the London Subway System or you wouldn't claim that there is "no fighting" in Britain.

I'm fairly certain he meant "fight" more in the traditional context, in which both parties know there is conflict, and each has an opportunity to exchange blows. To say what happened last summer in London was "a fight" is like saying there was a big fight in New York in September a few years back.

The only problem with that is Al Qaeda doesn't fight in a "traditional context" and anyone who expects them to needs to rethink their approach.

So if Bush measures the success of the War on Terror by whether or not Al Qaeda buys uniforms and tries to literally invade the US, he'll probably be pretty happy with the outcome.

However, if decides to measure it by the number of deaths caused by terrorism he might not be as happy.

Granted, and I wouldn't expect them to. I was simply clarifying, since my read of ComSen's comment was more a sad reflection on the fact that people died without even being given a "fight" (i.e. a chance to defend themselves), rather than claiming that conflict never existed in the UK.

This whole thing is about the current events in Britain. There was no "fight" or "fighting" today. Also, this was not in the US. NoUse made the statement (sarcastic)

Aren't we fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here?

I was pointing out that today's events did not take place in the US. So not only was there no "fight" here in the US, the terrorists were not even in the US.

The threat level always rises near the elections because terrorists want our strongest "defenders" in power.
