I got a call at about 4:30 pm today from a guy I work with who asked if I wanted to go see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.My first response was, "No way."

We're in an unpopular war that no one seems to know how to win. We're fighting an enemy we can't find who uses tactics we don't employ. Goals and accountability seem to be in short supply.
