Don't let this change pass without notice

ARTICLE: Army gives Rumsfeld Doctrine a rewrite, By Julian E. Barnes, Los Angeles Times,
November 20, 2006.
This may seem like an obvious and perfunctory change, but it is neither.

Frankly, it was the main pretext for writing The Pentagon's New Map.


So don't let this change pass without notice. Don't let it seem blase or "too little, too late."


For it is a sea change that many have fought against their entire careers--and continue to fight vociferously to this day.


But so many lives depend on this change--some ours but countless more theirs.


And if we want that sort of shrink-the-Gap peace, these must become our new calculations and our renewed sense of love for our fellow humans.


Thanks to James Miller and Ben Meier for sending this in.
