Where is Saddam? Where are those arsenals of weapons of mass destruction, if indeed they ever existed? Perhaps Saddam is still hiding somewhere in a bunker underground, sitting on cases of weapons of mass destruction and is preparing to blow the whole thing up and bring down the lives of thousands of Iraqi people.

Didn’t I see this film in the cinema?
SIX US soldiers are under suspicion of trying to steal millions of dollars from the vast quantities of cash Saddam Hussein’s regime left hidden in Baghdad.
The US Army will not confirm that it has any suspects in custody, but reports from Baghdad describe three soldiers coming across metal boxes stuffed with money and stashing $600,000 in a nearby tree.
The money came from a hoard of $656m found on Friday in four barricaded cottages in an upmarket Baghdad district where Saddam’s elite once lived.

*THIS* is what the “other side” thinks of the current situation and what should be done. There seems to be such a divide now between what liberals believe to be the correct, and fair, way to proceed, versus what the conservatives (like Newt Gingrich) believe.
You have such a polarity of opinion. Those who think that the Department of State is responsible for the failure of diplomacy. And those who believe that the whole diplomatic problem is caused by American belligerence, by the Department of Defense who, in Gingrich’s opinion, “turned these disadvantages into a stunning victory”. And the truth lies with your personal opinion. As it always has done.
Well, yesterday evening and this morning was mostly reading about JMS. Interesting and useful stuff. Especially when I’m thinking of developing a system which uses JMS to pass messages around between pluggable modules.
Then this afternoon I was reading about JMX and developing MBeans and their managed resources. These APIs are pretty useful! I just added my first MBean (Hello world!) to JBoss, and now I want to expand from that to MBeans which perform message passing via JMS…
Now, I know the JMS implementation (JBossMQ) isn’t the best at the moment, but it’s certainly good enough for testing the feasibility of what I’m thinking of.
By Peter Deustch:
As talked about elsewhere, this means that message passing is a much better paradigm for distributed computing than RPC.

Both come from 24.114.189.44 (they are probably the same bot, just renamed). From 13:27:07 today, it did a sustained download of my whole weblog (without looking at any robots.txt file). That’s annoying. Not as annoying as crawler918.com was (but they’re looking at robots.txt now, so things do improve), but that’s just because I don’t know what they’re doing with this information yet. I bet it’s something bad, but there’s no EVIDENCE as such.
And not just my weblog, bad cess to them.

No more comments for the moment, I’ll do a summary eventually.
