I Blame Ninjas
A Screenwriting Blog
Happy Halloween!
Filed under FilmsOct 31I'm taking the day off to carve pumpkins and watch classic horror movies. I now have DVDs of all the classic Universal monsters, except Karloff's The Mummy, so I'll be doing my own marathon with those. I've also been catching up on a lot of '50s giant monster movies this month courtesy of Netflix – Them!, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, It Came From Beneath the Sea, 20 Million Miles to Earth and others from my own collection – Gojira, King Kong, King Kong vs. Godzilla.

Hey, I'm a Pro (Sort of)
Filed under ScreenwritingOct 24I completed a super-short comedy screenplay over the weekend for a couple of film students for a nominal fee, so I guess I'm technically (but only technically) a professional screenwriter now. Hah! Comedy's not really my main thing, or at least I don't think so, but they seem happy with the script. Otherwise, I've just been hammering on the next draft of my feature spec after getting some notes. I've got to punch up the last 10 pages or so, the final battle, which isn't quite where I want it to be, and then I'll continue editing & tightening passes the rest of the week before sending it off to the TrackingB contest.

Ninja Victory Dance
Filed under ScreenwritingOct 19I finished the third draft on my current project Tuesday. I think this takes care of most of the major work, although I still have a couple of drafts of cleanup & polish ahead. I'm taking a few days off to go see matinees and maybe go to the zoo while I await notes, then I'll get back to work to prep it for an upcoming contest deadline. It's better to take a week or two off & work on something else, but I can't afford that much time on this deadline.

Filed under ScreenwritingOct 13Check out 25 Things You Should Know About Writing Horror by Chuck Wendig. My produced Invocation short scripts are horror, and most of my earlier feature specs are horror-tinged — starting out as horror, and migrating in rewrite to more action-adventure with ghosts or what-have-you. I'm also contemplating a contained horror script as my next project, since most of my other feature specs are fairly big-budget.
An excerpt:
7. Dread and Revulsion in an Endless Tango
Beneath plot and beneath story is a greasy, grimy subtextual layer of pacing — the tension and recoil of dread and revulsion. Dread is a kind of septic fear, a grim certainty that bad things are coming. Revulsion occurs when we see how these bad things unfold. We know that the monster is coming, and at some point we must see the wretchedness of the beast laid bare. Dread, revulsion, dread, revulsion. -
Filed under ScreenwritingOct 11My new anthem for the post-apocalypse sci fi-action script I'm wrapping up. The songwriter says it was actually inspired by a painting of a skyscraper rising from the post-apocalyptic ruins of a city, which is neat. Normally I favor soundtracks over songs with words when I'm writing, but this one works really well for this project.

Road Map
Filed under ScreenwritingOct 10I listened to a John August-Craig Mazin podcast over the weekend on outlining and the daily writing process, and picked up a good tip. Towards the end of the 'cast, August mentions that after he finishes writing , he beats out the next three scenes before he knocks off so he's never starting from scratch the next day. I like that idea a lot, because getting going in the mornings can sometimes be a bear if I'm not already in the middle of something. Of course, I have an outline, so I know generally where I'm heading, but I typically don't outline down to the scene level so it's not always crystal-clear exactly how I'm going to get there.
Filed under Films, ScreenwritingOct 4A great analysis of a director's guild event in which James Cameron and JJ Abrams talk about Steven Spielberg's films, this one dealing with the importance of tone and emotional resonance in his movies. Basically, having a human story of some kind at the core of your screenplay.
Or, as Pete Docter puts it in the production notes for Up, talking about Disney animator Joe Grant:
I got to know Joe when he was in his 90s. He was a friend of mine-this great old wise guy. Every time I would show him something we were working on he'd say, 'What are you giving the audience to take home?' That was his way of telling me it's the emotion-the character-based emotions that people are going to remember.
That's something I really work on in my own scripts – you can have all the action and spectacle in the world, but if there's no heart, you don't have much of a movie.

Sustainability Faceoff: Raytheon vs. Lockheed Martin
It's tough to judge the sustainability of defense contractors—after all, they deal in wartime equipment, which isn't exactly friendly to the planet or the people living on it. But two of the biggest contractors, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, actually have a a lot going for them in the sustainability arena. In the new book The HIP Investor, author and investment adviser R. Paul Herman compares the two. We do the same here.
Raytheon relies heavily on weapons to keep its business going—91% of the company's total sales in 2008 came from arms sales (compared to Lockheed's 70%). And the company has also made some missteps in recent years. In 2006, Raytheon CEO William H. Swanson admitted that he plagiarized his booklet entitled "Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management," and earlier this year, Raytheon was accused before the Senate Armed Services Committee of asking Blackwater to create a shell company in charge of getting a $25 million subcontract to train troops in Afghanistan.
But Raytheon isn't all bad. The company has cut its solid waste per billion dollar of revenue by 50% and reduced hazardous waste by 85% per billion dollar of revenue since 1998. Raytheon also provides weather, water, and climate prediction systems to the National Weather Service. The company offers a safe workplace, too—Raytheon has reduced its Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable injury rate by 75% and its lost workday injury rate by 66% since 1998.
Like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin has its fair share of issues. The company almost bought defense contractor Titan Corp. in 2004 despite employees' rumored links to prisoner abuse in Iraq (the agreement was later terminated), and in 2009, Lockheed Martin was sued by a former employee who claimed that the company intentionally applied inadequate stealth coatings to its F-22 Raptor stealth jet. And while only 70% of the company's total sales in 2008 came from arms sales, Lockheed is the world's largest arms exporter.
The company could also stand to do better on the payment front—Lockheed's CEO earns 360 times the average worker's salary. In comparison, Raytheon's CEO earns 271 times what the average employee makes. But Lockheed maintains a fair workplace. In 2010, the company received the top rating of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index for its inclusive policies related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees (note: Raytheon also achieved a perfect score). Since 2002, over 50% of entry-level hires have been women and minorities.
Lockheed has also succeeded on the environmental front. Eight Lockheed Martin buildings have achieved the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, and in 2009, the company bought 98,063,334 kilowatt-hours of green power—5% of its total electricity usage. Lockheed is also partnering with Ocean Power Technologies Inc. on a utility-scale wave-power generation project, and last year the company entered into $1.2 million cooperative agreement contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to research ocean thermal energy conversion. Just last month, Lockheed announced that it plans to provide a long-range air surveillance radar system to the U.K. Ministry of Defense. The system will help with sensor performance issues caused by rotating wind turbine blades.
And while Raytheon appears to be making strides in renewable energy and workers rights, we still have to give this round to Lockheed Martin (note: this is FastCompany.com's opinion. It does not reflect The HIP Investor's judgment). The company realizes that renewable energy will be a big market in the coming years, and we applaud its decision to look into advanced energy technologies. Raytheon would be wise to diversify and do the same.

Separated by time
From his grandmother, Alex Cross has heard the story of his great uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan. Now, Alex passes the family tale along to his own children in a novel he's written--a novel called Trial.
Connected by blood
As a lawyer in turn-of-the-century Washington D.C., Ben Corbett represents the toughest cases. Fighting against oppression and racism, he risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.
United by bravery
When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and his beautiful granddaughter, Moody. Ben enlists their help, and the two Crosses introduce him to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town's black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror--but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart. Written in the fearless voice of Detective Alex Cross, Alex Cross's Trial is a gripping story of murder, love, and, above all, bravery.
James Patterson has had more New York Times bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to Guinness World Records. Since his first novel won the Edgar Award in 1977 James Patterson's books have sold more than 240 million copies. He is the author of the Alex Cross novels, the most popular detective series of the past twenty-five years, including Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. He writes full-time and lives in Florida with his family.

The latest life and entertainment headlines from The Associated Press

Carville and Matalin working on joint memoir
NEW YORK (AP) - James Carville and Mary Matalin, political rivals and personal bedfellows, are collaborating on a book in which they will again agree to disagree.
The longtime strategists have a deal with Blue Rider Press for a memoir with the working title "You Can Go Home Again." Officials with Blue Rider, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), told The Associated Press on Thursday that the book is scheduled for 2014.
Carville, a Democrat, and Matalin, a Republican, previously worked together on the 1993 release "All's Fair."
According to Blue Rider, Matalin and Carville will share political war stories, their takes on current and past events and how they managed to stay married for 20 years and raise two children.

Pretty sure Mogs donned the armband when they played over there in 2011 as well. England are fond of this sort of thing, KP made his international debut in SA and his captaincy debut against the same oppo.
I really think it's just coincidence.

Should be an interesting and possibly heated contest then, this article presents the ECB in a very bad light though
Pretty bitter article.
This reeks of BS, but having looked at the squad from our last visit, if anyone was that stupid, my money is on Dernbach.On their last visit here the response of one prominent player to a request for an autograph was to tell a nine-year-old to "f*** off".
Nah I'm pretty sure it was meant to be Trott. I think it was a kid who was either Trent Johnson's son or a friend of his son . Johnson came out and accused trott on twitter and then deleted it - probably because he realised it was stupid to go on the say so of a 9 year old and it was probably bull****.
The guy writing it obviously has a big chip on his shoulder. Seems to have decided to recount every tale he's heard in the pub or second hand.
The repeated use of "grooming" is quite nasty and deliberately ignorant as well.
No one ever talks about 'the weak, silent type'. When's their moment?
What a pillock.
Garbage article. He'd have more of a point about the players being rested if they weren't also missing the Australia series.
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!

Next weekend I am going camping with a big group of people, so my friend and I decided to go up to the spot this past weekend to clean up the area and chop some wood, and shoot a little. Good times. Took some pictures as well.
With the exception of the burnt crap left over from the last fire, it was actually pretty green.
Would have been an awesome shot if my friend didn't stick his finger out the window
Decided to play on a little hill. It was a lot steeper than it looks in the pictures. Sitting in the front seat was like sitting in a recliner
Then on the drive back, this is a lookout from the top of the mountain towards the ocean
Oh almost forgot, I also decided to drive through a tiny stream. Well yeah I got stuck
Luckily there was another guy up there in a 4x4 Chevy, he pulled me out with no prob.

A truly audacious and important group - Music Australia Guide / One of the best hip-hop groups in the world who have delivered one of this year's best - Beat / Recommended - All Music Guide / Squarely in the upper echelon of indie hip-hop worldwide - Tiny Mix Tapes |
Reviews | |
If being the first Australian Hip-hop group to get stateside distribution wasn't impressive enough, COD was signed to indie-hop bastion Mush on the personal recommendation of Doseone, which is a good indication of their steelo. In both rapping and production their multicultural mishmash is more reigned and tighter compared to their 2003 debut Lost In The Real Sky, but they still sound like The Avlanches tearing though a world music fare (Thankfully, their secret weapon Vulk Makedonski still hasn't returned to earth!). The biggest shock is that the second half plays with shade and texture, revealing subtlety to be one of their strengths, possibly the only thing not sampled on their debut. Clever, but not pretentious, funky, but not frivolous - Melbourn's finest are one of the best Hip-hop groups in the world who have delivered one of this years best; crank it up and dance around with your undies on your head! - Beat |

people who say that right hand was a lucky punch obviously don't know what the hell they are talking about. How the hell was it a lucky punch when the right hand counter is what JMM is known for? On top of that, Roach and Manny's main strategy besides being more aggressive this time around was for Manny to have his feet outside of JMM so he wouldn't get countered by JMM's right hand. Both Manny and Roach both agreed in the past that JMM's right hand counter is their biggest problem.
Manny needs to decide if he is a boxer or a politican cuz he can't do both. If he's gonna box then he can't do anything else but box. Its a full time job so him being a politician will just mess him up as a boxer. |

Certain fans HATE when Hatton is called a "WW Champion". Totally debunks their agenda when he was undefeated and fought Mayweather at WW.
Pac is not finished. He's a great fighter that will come back and win. Besides I highly doubt Bob Arum would just let him walk away easily. Bob has 2 or 3 more fights lined up for him already with his last one cashing out with Mayweather. Pac already said he will continue and I support him. He's not crying ofr weeks like Hatton did when he lost for the first time. Pac is stronger than that. He should fight #3 WW The Ghost next. |

fighters that got knockout the first time in their late career has a big chance that they will never be the same
pac is different its not like he was getting messed up then KOed why does people talk like this is the first time pac got KOed? he knows the drill, he will come back better than b4 he was winning then got caught, its totally different from losing badly then got KOed then that should be a retirement hint right there Last edited by viperz007; 12-11-2012 at 02:32 PM. |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - The United States Football League says it will kick off its inaugural season in the spring of 2014.
When the reformation of the league was announced earlier this year, organizers targeted playing next March. Now, that date has been pushed back a year.
Plans are for a 14-game season played by eight franchises, none of which has been identified yet.
All players and coaches contracts will be owned by the USFL, and each team owner will be a member-operator of the league.

dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study addresses foreign investment in China's fund–management industry, with a detailed analysis of the opportunities and challenges that foreign investors may face. With the entry of China into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2001, foreign investors have been allowed to hold up to 33% of a joint fund-management firm, which has increased to 49% from the end of 2004. As a trendy investment tool, investment funds, and particularly mutual funds, have expanded significantly especially as regards market size and economic importance in developed economies. This study starts with an introduction to the investment fund, which includes types of investment funds and the advantages of mutual funds. Then, the history of China's fund-management industry is described to give a brief picture of this nascent industry. In order to justify the promising future for foreign investment in China's fund-management industry, the study first analyses the sustainability of China's economic growth, which is driven by some favourable aspects such as the gradual development of an economic structure, continued FDI inflow and WTO membership. Another two specific factors that may be favourable for the fund-management industry in this regard, namely pension fund reform and increased income, are also discussed. Foreign investors in China's fund-management industry are also exposed to some challenges. For investment funds, the main platform is the financial markets, which means that the development of the fund-management industry is tied closely to the development of the financial markets. In the case of China, the financial markets are still developing and have not grown into efficient capital allocation mechanisms due to the restricted involvement of foreign participants and substantial government intervention. However, this study only focuses on major opportunities and challenges associated with foreign investment in China's fund-management industry. A detailed analysis of each of various relevant aspects can be conducted in a future study, as well as a pertinent survey. | en_ZA |

Complete freedom in hardware sounds good in theory, but I see a big advantage for Apple in its uniform hardware, with OS X and with iPhone. It's a lot easier to ensure compatibility when there is a very restricted set of hardware being used. Just wondering whether there's anything practical that Android could take from this? A tighter set of standards on "approved" hardware, discouraging proliferation of hardware components for the sake of it? Of course it's open source, so people could still use it how they want, but it would be handy to know if most or all of the hardware has been tested and approved by Android developers - then the buyer is better informed. This might reduce (to an extent) the proliferation of hardware components used in phones, which would be a good thing in terms of compatibility, reducing hardware conflicts and flakiness. This idea comes partly from my experiences with Linux being flaky on certain hardware, and now from my experience with Galaxy S, which has lag and other flakiness. Also from the observation that corporations like to give us variety and tell us it's good, even if it's variety of crap. Not sure if this is a practical solution, but I do believe something is needed to improve hardware compatibility in Linux-based systems, including Android.
This is an iffy subject. I think Android can still enjoy its openness if it incorporates a better app store. Currently the rating system, search, and organization of the Android marketplace....kinda sucks. In the apple app store, they have a section that separates iOS4 apps from the regular apps, or apps that incorporate Retina display. Android needs better organization, maybe a section just for Froyo would be a good start. Maybe a featured section, favorites by Google, etc.
gingerbread's minimum requirements announcement = google's rough way of standardizing android although i don't think it would be a bad thing. 3.0 will separate the "tablet/phone" from the smart-phone(2.2). 1.6 and 2.1 will slowly disappear in the market ( phone contract expiry is one big reason, although i bet many will still circulate in the reselling market. good thing there's custom roms...) the smart-phones will be divided into the low-end (wildfire, x10-mini), and and the hi-end (n1,desire). the in-betweens would just be laggy hi-ends.

Celebrities offer a lot in the way of outfit inspiration, after all, they're usually dressed by professional stylists in the latest trends. And when they're not on the red carpet, they're usually wearing pretty regular clothes, not high-fashion runway looks. But while I strive to replicate celebrity looks as closely as possible with my daily "Dress by Number" posts, the goal was never to have readers mirror the look, rather, my aim is to present each outfit like a recipe - you can follow it step by step to achieve a certain look, but then you should feel free to improvise, edit and tweak that look to make it your own. Here are ten ways to do just that.

10 Ways to Make a Celebrity Look Your Own
This is a really great post. This post has so many great tips and makes some excellent points. Thank you!
Thx for the feedback, these were ideas I had often thought about but never put down on paper - and it kinda had to be said!
This is great, not just because it helps readers make celebrity looks their own, but because it really sums up the basic "rules" of being generally fashionable. If more people knew and understood how all of your suggestions work on a visual level, the world would look and feel happier! You cover the bases here, too, from accessories to beauty to proportions. Awesome.
Very kind of you to say, thanks. I had another thought - if someone's unsure whether or not a look they are wearing "works," try taking a picture. I often see a myriad of fashion sins staring back at me when I take a photograph of myself, which shows you things that aren't always visible in the mirror!
I like the "Dress by Number" and "Celebrity Style" posts because they offer an easy and quick way for me to see the latest trends, and how to wear them. I don't necessarily dress like that, or purchase those items, rather I use them to keep up to date on what's going on in fashion. If I happen to like a particular trend - like color blocking for example - I go back to those posts for inspiration.
I like how you mentioned Kate Moss and Miranda Kerr. I often find myself inspired by models-off-duty as well, specially Kate Moss. However, I can't pull off the blazer + tee + jeans look. It's "effortless chic" on her, but on my it just looks funny.

This is great!! I have loved your dress by number posts and implemented many of these ideas just because of financial reasons and using what I have and making it work. Since I have been following your blog I have received so many compliments on my style and fashion sense. It really cracks me up, because I am just using what I have and trying to be inspired by the looks you post. It has been such a great experience I have even been asked to take people shopping and help them. This has meant so much, especially since I work with teens and they appreciate an "older" person who appreciates fashion. I really owe it all to you! THANK YOU BUDGET BABE!!! And thanks for this post to help fill in more of the blanks.

Dixon Woman Surprises Mother with Trip to France
A respiratory therapist from Dixon has her husband's baking skills partly to thank a very prosperous Thanksgiving. Nadine Novak, 40, explained that a pie shell was the source of her recent good fortune.
"My husband, Matt, didn't know how to make a pie shell, so I ran to the store to get one before everyone arrived for Thanksgiving dinner," said Novak. "I bought a Lottery ticket while I was at the store, but I didn't look at it again until around 11 p.m. that night."
Novak's decision to purchase a Missouri Lottery "Jingle Bell Bingo" Scratchers ticket from Country Mart Express, 508 E. 5th St. in Dixon, proved to be a good move.
"At first I thought I didn't really win, but then I had my husband check the ticket online," said Novak. "He told me we really won $10,003 and gave me a high five, because that's what we always do with our kids when something exciting happens."
Novak, a first-time Lottery winner and mother of three, plans to share her winnings with her loved ones.
"The first thing I'm going to do is surprise my brother by giving him $1,000," said Novak. "Then I'm going to take my mother to France. That is where she is from, and she hasn't been able to visit her family there in a really long time."
When asked if Novak planned to make the trip to France an entire family event, she noted that those details were still undecided.
"I'm not sure how my five-year-old and two four-year-old twins would like the long plane ride to France," said Novak. "It might end up just being a trip for my mother and I, but we'll see!"
"Jingle Bell Bingo,"
a $3 game with a top prize of $50,000, officially began on Oct. 25.

Regarding the fast-moving and fluid events surrounding the use of chemical weapons in Syria's civil war and the proper response to it, some truths:
One, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Two, sometimes luck is the residue of design. And three, there is no limit to the good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.
On Friday, when the White House announced that President Barack Obama would address the nation Tuesday night on why Congress should consent to U.S. military retaliation, the tide was running strongly against him.
By Tuesday night, when the speech was delivered, the president's basic goal — to affirm and reinforce the international prohibitions against chemical weapons — seemed within grasp.
Mr. Obama may or may not have had anything to do with that. It may have started with a brief conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday at the G-20 Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. It may have been a gift from the gods or from Mr. Putin, who might argue there's no distinction. More likely Mr. Obama's resolve merged with Mr. Putin's ambitions to restore Russia as a super-power-broker.
Whoever gets the credit, there is now breathing room. Maybe Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with Mr. Putin's hand in his back, is sincere in his willingness to turn over his chemical weapons to international control. Or maybe he's just playing for time. The matter now rests with the United Nations, where everything takes considerable time. Whatever. The world is better off when matters are left to diplomats, not fire-control officers.
This fact, however, must not be lost: The tragedy in Syria continues. Two million people have fled the country. The refugee crisis is an epic humanitarian disaster. Of the estimated 100,000 civilians who have died in 18 months of fighting, only 1,400 were killed in the sarin gas attacks of Aug. 21. In Syria, there are many ways to die. Only one of them has been put on the back burner.
But gas is different, the president argued Tuesday: "The images from this massacre are sickening, men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas, others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath, a father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off limits, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war."
Dictators, Mr. Obama said, "depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied. The question now is what the United States of America and the international community is prepared to do about it because what happened to those people, to those children is not only a violation of international law, it's also a danger to our security."
This was the tough part of the president's challenge, convincing America that this is our problem. Failure to act will encourage Mr. Assad to continue and embolden "other tyrants," he said. American troops might one day face chemical warfare on battlefields (but not, he stressed, in Syria) "and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians."
And if gas is OK, what about other weapons of mass destruction? What about Iran's nuclear ambitions?
"This is not a world we should accept," the president said. "This is what's at stake."
He concluded, "Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used."
Mr. Obama probably didn't need to make last night's speech; events had overtaken it. But Americans needed to hear it.
Nor did the president need to consult Congress, but he was right, strategically, politically and constitutionally, to do so.
It's too easy to go to war; when circumstances allow, a president must seek the broadest possible political and public support — even with a Congress as deeply dysfunctional as this one is.
Besides, when there are no good options, it's a good idea to spread the responsibility for choosing the least-bad option.
Presidents always have asserted their right to bypass Congress when circumstances demand it — and sometimes when they don't. But Mr. Obama held his fire after the Aug. 21 attacks and was accused by some of being feckless.
He knew that there was no guarantee that attacking Syria would not make matters worse, perhaps drastically worse. He knew that polls show the American public is against it.
This is no surprise. It takes something on the order of Pearl Harbor or 9/11 — a direct attack on Americans — for the nation to overcome its isolationist streak. Not even Hitler could do it by himself.
That's why, for all of Mr. Obama's pleas Tuesday night, heart-wrenching photographs and video of other nations' dead children are not enough. High-minded arguments about moral responsibility are no match for national xenophobia.
Last week, as members of Congress considered that they might have to vote on this issue, strange coalitions emerged. Anti-war Democrats and isolationist Republicans plus anti-Obama zealots on one side. Militarist Republicans and Democratic loyalists on the other. On Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a resolution in favor of a limited military strike. By the weekend, it appeared to be doomed: It polled badly.
Early Monday came the announcement that Mr. Putin had decided to play nice. Russia's belated decision to get involved — and no one should forget Russia's and Iran's culpability in arming and enabling the Assad regime — put Congressional action on hold.
It may yet come to a vote, but Mr. Putin's change of heart has taken Mr. Obama and Congress off the hook, at least temporarily. If things go south, Congress must support military action. That threat, however clumsily played, created the opportunity that exists today.
For every argument in favor of military intervention there is an equally good argument against it. But Mr. Obama is right: The use of weapons of mass destruction against civilian populations cannot go unanswered.
International law demands it. America's place on the moral high ground, shaken by its years in Iraq, its human rights violations in its war on terror and its berserk national intelligence excesses, must be restored. It is a decision that defines what kind of people we are.
It is a decision no sane individual wants to make. That's why the world must hope that the Russians' word is good. That's why the United States and its allies at the U.N. must bend every effort to find a diplomatic solution, even if it is not perfect. If the world community can come together on chemical weapons, maybe it can stop a war. Who knows how many doors this can open?
