Thursday, March 18, 2004"This analysis will endeavor to address some of those concerns, but I will be quite frank: this was a definitive victory for al-Qaeda."
A comprehensive article explaining why al-Qaeda picked on Spain and why it is a victory for Al-Qaeda. Acts of terrorism can cause people to vote more emotionally rather than rationally and may give elected officials the wrong message of how they need to respond. Terrorism blackmail works and Europe is the target.

Love Canal Declared Clean, Ending Toxic Horror. Love Canal was clean enough to be removed from the Superfund list two decades after it became the first site on the list. By Anthony Depalma. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]
I used to work for Occidental Chemical so I got more familiar with some of the details of the Love Canal problems. When I started work for them I was surprised to find out that the dumping occured before I was born. I thought it occurred in the 1960's but was surprised to find out it occurred in the 1940's. I was also surprised to find out that this site was a state of art storage facility for chemicals in its day. The canal was ideal since it was clay lined to prevent leakage. The canal was capped and covered with top soil. When Occidental sold the land to the city for one cent, it was agreed the land would be used as a park. Somehow the city forgot about the dump and sold the land to developers. People putting in utilities and roads finally broke the canal but ignored the results. The position of Occidental Chemical was that almost everyone had some blame. The federal goverment was the primary customer of Occidental's products and advisor, Occidental because they made the products, the city because they sold the land to developers, and the state because it was their road crews who broke the canal. The end result was the Superfund legislation and the realization "we" had made some serious environmental mistakes throughout the country.
