Pfc. Jessica Lynch survived an auto accident. I've been in a nasty one myself, so I won't splash ice water on her ordeal, but that's what it was: a car crash. She's less Alvin York than a lucky Princess Di. If the vultures at Knopf had any style, they would have hired...
Phooey on Tough Talk
I would feel better about President George Bush's tough schoolboy rhetoric if he were in Baghdad, Fallujah or Tikrit instead of lolling about on his ranch or at Camp David in between fund-raising trips and photo ops. He ought to go to Iraq to see what his policy has...
Anti-Fools of the World Unite!
I think Americans would be surprised to know how conservative the views of many Chinese are concerning such "mutual" problems as Iraq, North Korea, terrorism and the whole world order as it is now. Of course, young Chinese males with internet access tend to rant on...

Just a Good Ol’ Boy
Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean is a master of timing. His appearance in Jacksonville, Florida on election day 2003 served several purposes. It signaled very clearly to the incumbent president that Dean, the putative frontrunner for next year's Democratic...
All Roads Lead to Feith
"What's gonna happen with Feith? That, in a nutshell, is the question of the month for the Washington cognoscenti trying to figure out whether a major shift in the Bush administration's unilateralist and ultra-hawkish foreign policy is or is not underway....
An Edifice of Lies
The Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941 unleashed a maelstrom of pent-up violence between its people. Four bloody years later, the Communists emerged as the new power in the Balkans, reshaping Yugoslavia to their liking. Legacies of wartime carnage and genocide were...
The Iraq Trap: Watch Out What You Ask For
