...were already looking for a provocation. "Underlying it all is the fact that young men have not seen any tangible change in their lives in terms of either jobs or basic services," said aid worker Holly Ritchie, who works for a British charity in Kabul. Much of their anger is directed squarely at the very people ostensibly in the country to help, the foreign aid agencies who oversee a portion of the billions of dollars in aid money that has flowed into the country in the last four years...
...health-care plan in 1994, and she voted for Gulf War II-but she is as solid as a rock and works hard to learn the issues before she starts spouting about them. The problem is, both Gore and Clinton have tons of baggage. Gore has been curdled by anger over his loss in 2000; Clinton will always be known as the wife of that other Clinton. 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.

There was more anger after the December 2004 tsunami, which killed 36,000 Sri Lankans: Sinhalese hard-liners objected to giving the Tigers aid to distribute in areas they controlled, saying that would legitimize terrorism. Today both sides maintain they are abiding by the cease-fire and neither has launched an all-out offensive...
...Obsolete Monarchy Re your thought-provoking report "Battle of Wills" [May 1] on the political turmoil in Nepal: The country is one of the poorest in the world, and its people have suffered a lot. Their anger is targeted at not only King Gyanendra but also the entire edifice of monarchy, an anachronism in the present day. Gyanendra should follow the example of contemporary royals who are confined to being figureheads within democratic monarchies. I remember that when King Jigme Singye Wangchuck of Bhutan volunteered to give up absolute power as monarch, he said, "The country is more important than...
