...plans to argue that eliminating a threat to U.S. security is the first goal but that the broader aims include liberating the people of Iraq and building a nation that is stable, peaceful and democratic in a region that needs an example of all three. The idea is to appeal to American nobility and to align this war with the struggles that liberated Europe, first from the Nazis and then from the Soviets. But it could have the opposite effect, stirring America's fear of entanglement in a dangerous, unstable region...

And he's proudest of the "random acts of kindness" he often sees on the site, such as the woman who offered her vacuum cleaner to a public...
...half hour when they could count on the creatures that Lewis Carroll called fabulous monsters to sit before a television screen, completely absorbed by the gentle magic of the least charismatic wizard in the history of children’s entertainment. There is nothing at all mystifying about the appeal of Fred Rogers for adults. But for those of us who never experienced the show as a child, there is something bewildering about the hold of a man who, like Robert Browning’s Pied Piper of Hamelin, seemed to possess some kind of “secret charm?...
