Howdy, peeps.  I just got done with the first session of my Monday course, the topic of which is "The New Security Environment: Terrorism, War, and Intelligence," and might I say WOW!  This class really looks like it's going to be awesome.  Here are the weekly course topics to be discussed:

September 11: Continuity and Change {this was today's topic}
Terrorism
War/Just War
Intelligence
Al Qaeda
9/11 Commission Report (and some Contrarian Views)
The Canadian Response, Bill C-36
Bad Intelligence on Iraq, Part 1: The UK, Australia, Israel
Bad Intelligence on Iraq, Part 2: The US Case
The National Security Strategy of the United States of America
Reforming the UN
Nuclear Terrorism

Each student has to do a presentation on one of the weekly topics; I'll be doing mine on "The National Security Strategy."  It's so exciting.  I think I'm truly going to thoroughly enjoy this course.

Cheers, peeps!!
