Burning the Koran

bronko - I got the book from the library, great read so far. Things are much worse than I had imagined. I get to work today and get a warnign that our India locations may be disrupted due to violence. A court decision is expected to be announced today. So....I wonder, who could it be that would cause violence from a court case? I had my suspicions but want to be open minded. I googled and you'll never believe who is invlolved! I'll let you guess.

Significant Developments in Terror Threats Since 9/11,
Officials Say
Napolitano, Mueller, Leiter Discuss Increased Tempo of Attacks Against U.S.

Sept. 22, 2010
The nation's top counterterrorism officials were blunt. The threat from within---of Americans willing to commit terrorist acts--- is growing. FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a congressional hearing today that a spike in recent terrorism cases is direct evidence of the evolving threat.

"Groups affiliated with al Qaeda are now actively targeting the United States and looking to use Americans or Westerners who are able to remain undetected by heightened security measures," Mueller said. "It appears domestic extremism and radicalization appears to have become more pronounced based on the number of disruptions and incidents."

" Napolitano said, "To be clear, by homegrown, I mean terrorist operatives who are U.S. persons, and who were radicalized in the United States."

it's most likely the fault of the Tea Party who, for the most part, are racist, bigoted, intolerant, white male Islamophobes and who are now spawning the creation of terrorists domestically with their rallies and support of witches just as Bush created terrorists abroad with his unjust wars and God talk...

they should rule that the Hindu's and Muslims both screw and put a golf course on the site...might save a couple thousand lives this time...let the Maoist insurgents run the golf course and practice a little capitalism to placate them for a while and maybe they'll learn something...

I agree, but it all comes down to $. IT heads in the US are too expensive.
Imagine this -
Right now, the Stimulus (per recovery.gov) pumped somethin like 250 BILLION into tax relief. I dont know anyone thats seen that $ but lets just suppose its accurate.
Imagine if you spent say 5 billion and built 5 IT colleges in the most depressed part of this country. Places like Detroit, mid-west, deep south. You then fund another 5 Billion to support the colleges over 5 years. The schools will ONLY be open to people that are below a certain income - poor people. I think that would be feasible. Then, you go to the top 25 companies in the US that out source IT resources. You offer them amazing incentives to build IT infrastructure in the same regions as these IT colleges. tax breaks, free internships (from the schools), cheap real estate, etc. You put incentinves for the graduates - 2yr program then a work for $/employer funded program for after work additinal 2yr program for them to stay put and work at the regional centers.
These companies get cheap IT resources, the regions get a huge influx of construction jobs and service jobs, the regions grow with $ from the IT jobs. You educate the poor, you build our technology infrastructure and companies get cheap labor. All for less that a 25 billion investment. Imagine the HUGE dividends this would pay!
No ideas at all come from either the dems or repubs, its just throw money at old ideas ( hey, lets build roads!). These are the hip ideas we need and this is CHANGE! I'll take some of this socialism if it makes people work!

I'm pretty sure this year we got a pretty large credit on cash we paid into my step-son's college tuition that was directly from the Stimulus bill.
