Reading Material

I'm reading Paul Theroux's book Dark Star Safari - written a few years ago but still a very timely and current assessment of what is happening on the continent of Africa. With celebrities like Oprah, Madonna, and Pitt/Jolie plucking at American heartstrings for greater interest in and aid for Africa, this is a must-read.
I am also suggesting another look at Michael Yon's blog from Iraq - he has posted some new stuff over the past week and it is, as always, a fascinating "I was there" look at what is really happening there.
Also check out Fred Barnes' latest editorial from The Weekly Standard - about Vietnam and Iraq.
And check this out, as well.
Gosh, there is so much to read and so little time! And I haven't even started to cover Barack and Hillary....
