...said in your story, Pyongyang's only consistency has been its unpredictability. So America should attack it with a larger level of unpredictability. Lift all sanctions. Let the giant corporate world in. The only life that the larger population of North Korea knows is the life of not having much. Give them a life of choices - export the good life into North Korea. Show them what life could be like with someone else in the capital. Do this for a year or so, then push your agendas. And if Pyongyang again starts to drag its feet, take it all away...

But Tim Wirth, president of the U.N. Foundation, argues that Ban's critics miss the point. The U.N., Wirth says, is not a vertical institution but a horizontal one, with 192 nation-states acting as shareholders. Ban can't tell the U.N.'s members--or even its agencies--what to do. He has to negotiate and coordinate, find a consensus. He manages to do that, Wirth says, by "keeping...
...mother Aicha el-Wafi, told TIME that Moussaoui informed her that he pleaded guilty in the fatalistic belief the process had to be rigged, that no American court would ever give a sworn enemy a fair chance. American values include respecting the rights of even those who attack them. That's been a key consideration in Obama's moves to roll back many Bush administration policies in the war on terror.
