News - Here's a picture shot out the window of the International Space Station. It's Large Magellanic Cloud--an irregular galaxy visible from Earth's southern hemisphere: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/images/noseprints/lmc_big.jpg



Comment - The article about shooting photos from the Space Station can be found at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/24mar_noseprints.htm?list120586. The astronauts say the aurora are the most beautiful things they see from orbit.



News - Worried about the war? Quit watching the news!: http://www.sbam.org/resource/digest/features/32603.html



Comment - From a story I wrote today for our Online Digest:



Try and ignore the media saturation coverage of the war's minute-to-minute progress. "I only pay attention to major developments, otherwise I would find myself worrying needlessly over every event and every reported casualty," says Robert MacDonald, Vice-President of WORKPOINTS, who is a combat veteran with a family member serving in Iraq. "I also find that there are too many media 'armchair generals' offering their own opinions and criticisms of how the war is being conducted. If you are anxious about the safety of a loved one, listening to these self-appointed experts will only make matters worse," he says.



If there's one thing I've learned from reading a lot of military history over the years, it's that there is no substitute for victory. Nothing will shut up the CNN "armchair generals" faster than winning the war. I pray it is soon.
