Epps was unafraid to be an outspoken advocate of his policy stances, often throwing his weight behind projects opposed by Lewis and publicly disagreeing with his boss about the nature and aim of Harvard’s undergraduate education. He prided himself on independent thought...
...presence "on top of things" in Iraq to give the occupation international legitimacy--said frankly, "You're not going to get real war-fighting capabilities from the U.N." But in at least some parts of Iraq, war fighting is exactly what's still needed. The model to aim for is an improved version of the one the international community stumbled on in Sierra Leone three years ago.

Missionaries who aim to convert Muslims only provide more reasons to dislike America. The proselytizers add fuel to the idea that America is against Islam or any religion other than Christianity. If the U.S. wants to end terrorism, it must make friends, not enemies. Not only does the attempt to convert weaken America's relations with other countries, but it is wrong. Conversion ends diversity, something beautiful that ought...
