...becoming a familiar story. In Afghanistan, the U.S. has handed over much of the anti-Taliban fight to NATO. On North Korea, America works largely through China. On Darfur, we have banked on peacekeepers from the African Union. This past summer the Bush Administration briefly put Israel in charge of our Iran policy, supporting Jerusalem's war against Hizballah in hopes of crippling Tehran's powerful Lebanese ally.

If you look at the 1999 Seattle protests, there was a tremendous amount of costuming, the famous "turtle suits" worn by the environmentalists, as well as music. I went a rally in Brazil in 2004. It was fascinating - people came with their drums, and some people had face paint on, like they might at a soccer game. People were dancing in the streets...
