OP-ED: The Endorsement From Hell, By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF, New York Times, October 25, 2008

Obama does represent a rhetorical de-escalation of the GWOT, and that will be good. Terrorists are only as important as we choose to make them. Outside of the spectacular kills, their activity will not rise about the white noise of our own networked complexity (and tomfoolery)--such as the current financial crisis.

About time for Osama to issue a tape declaring, "What about me? I'm still crazy!"
