...nine years I lived in Jerusalem, I was struck by how obsessively Israelis used their cell phones, relaying to spouses and friends their every move throughout the day.

The strikes are reportedly to be against Afghan air bases and suspected terror camps. Local sources have confirmed that the initial wave of attacks struck the airport in Kandahar. One immediate goal is to render useless any Taliban air defenses. In a televised address earlier this afternoon, President Bush said the Taliban "will pay a price" for not meeting U.S. demands...
