...recovery was expected to be slow, but over the past year we felt as though the American effort was running in place—if not taking steps backward in the war on terror. As we feared prior to the war, America’s invasion has heightened anger toward the United States and turned Iraq into a rallying point for terrorist recruitment. America seems poised to hand the world another failed state mired in internal strife—a breeding ground for the terrorists the United States is ostensibly fighting. The world has become less safe?...

Under the prison's spiritual regimen, the Bible, the Koran and the Torah are read alongside manuals on substance abuse, anger management and job training.

Christopher Meyer, former British ambassador to Washington, says the alliance "has lost a lot of the frequency and intimacy of consultation...
...hand in postwar Eastern Europe, and a pledge to accept nothing less than Germany's (and Japan's) unconditional surrender. The Russians fought on, but at horrendous cost. Stalin fulminated that Roosevelt was waging war with American money and American machines--and with Russian men. The accusation arose from anger and cynicism, but it had the sting of truth. For every American who gave his life in World War II, some 59 Soviets died...
