I find this disturbing. I'm concerned for those who will be coming into PSE in the next few years (particularly younger family members) and not having the means to pay for it. There is a lot of scholarship money out there to be had, but loans have tended to be a reliable fall-back. I also note the usual outlandish CFS malarkey at the end.

David Frum fulfills my Saturday request and fuels my fears of Iran's involvement in the Israel-Hezbollah war:
"For all practical purposes, Hezbollah is an arm of the Iranian state. And when Hezbollah goaded Israel into war, the war it triggered was not a war between Israel and Lebanon. The war Hezbollah provoked is a war between Israel and Iran, with Hezbollah as Iran’s proxy — and the people of Lebanon as Iran’s victims."

Fantastic. This is something that should have everybody's support. I personally believe they should be seeking stronger punishments, but it's a start.
