From Bad To Worse
I've held off saying too much about the situation in Iraq because it's all been said already. I'm glad that Bush is finally holding a press conference tonight, but I'm not terribly optimistic that he'll say anything revealing. I think the variable in this whole mess is whether the current level of violence will be sustained or whether it will ebb enough for some stability to return. Even if the violence does subside, will it cycle up again in a few months? Unlike some on the left, I don't advocate a withdrawal of our troops. It's our mess and we need to clean it up. Where my confidence fails is in the current Administration's ability to develop a coherent set of policies for creating a civil society in Iraq.
I've been thinking about doing some consultant work on the side. The question is, what kind of consulting? Something in the disability field, obviously. One of my pet issues are the challenges confronting adolescents and young adults with disabilities, which I don't think I've addressed here before. A possible topic for tomorrow.

Hi Mark!
I really hope that you do do some consulting work with kids/teens with disabilities. It is SO needed. I wrote a book with PACER for teens several years ago and I received many thank you's... unfortunately mainly from parents but...
