Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? if i wrote "dear sofia" or "dear boomer" or "dear lily's great-aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? of course it would. but the question is: when i wrote "dear lily," was that just a version of "dear myself"? i know it was more than that. but it was also less than that, too

Bin laden was very keen to point out to me that his forces had fought the americans in somalia. he also wanted to talk about how many mullahs in pakistan were putting up posters saying, "we follow bin laden." he even produced a sort of kodak set of snapshots of graffiti supporting him.
