...Haditha reports are true, there can be no excuse. Not stress. Not anger. Not frustration. But this incident raises more disturbing questions. Have there been other such incidents? Does it indicate progressive decay in the standards of discipline in our forces? On top of Abu Ghraib, what moral authority do our forces retain? Can we recover our standing in the eyes of the Iraqis? And what will the ramifications of this incident be for U.S. power worldwide...
...real test of his resolve will come in the Shi'ite heartland city of Basra. Before he spoke out on Haditha, the Prime Minister's anger was directed at the city's warring Shi'ite gangs. Promising to use "an iron fist" against them, al-Maliki declared a state of emergency in the city. But it will take more than rhetoric to bring the gangs to heel.

The arguments for and against-and between-these two honorable politicians have become arthritic with age, debilitating. In fact, most of the arguments that have dominated baby-boom politics are rutted and irrelevant...
...drama. That's what drama is: the compressing of a life into a few hours, the exposure of character through action, the revelation of a person's essence by the way he acts in a crisis. You get revelations of Pitt's character when his wife is shot: his anger, frustration and resolve, as well as his love for her and desperate terror that he might lose her. And Pitt isn't the only one whose character is revealed in extreme moments. The Moroccan boys playing with the dangerous new toy are expressing the rivalry any two brothers might have...
