...international terrorists, escalating in Afghanistan today makes almost as little sense as George Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. An escalation in Afghanistan would inevitably bring more civilian casualties, more anti-American resentment, and in the end more recruits to Islamist terror. Last August cannon fire from one of our AC-130 gunships killed dozens of civilians, and then in October a called-in air strike killed 25 to 30 civilians, including 18 women and children.

The entire roof of the great hall was a liquid pool of red and yellow. On and on it burned. Within her, another fire lapped ravenously, unforgivingly against the inner walls of her being, threatening to consume her. A rafter fell with an explosion, and Roxanna lifted her hands to shield her face. But then she stilled, staring down with horror at her once ethereally white hands. They were black with soot...

Like the Sigg, the Kanteen can accommodate warm liquids but heat will transfer to the outside. If you are lost in the wild (and know how to start a fire) you can even boil water in the Kanteen. Price: $17.95 (27 ounce, steel); $19.95 (27 ounce, colored...
