...most damaging assaults against these soft targets are suicide attacks, and they are on the rise. Since early August, nine car bombs, including three in the past week, have taken the lives of more than 130 Iraqis and others cooperating with the occupation. Hundreds of Iraqis have been wounded--security guards, ordinary citizens, children. A U.S. official says locals working for the U.S.-organized Iraqi Facilities Protection Service, which guards the outer perimeter of many strategic sites, have paid a steep price. At the Baghdad Hotel, Iraqi guards shot up a suicide bomber's vehicle as it approached, preventing...
Those who took the test in its early phase were volunteers rather than a random sample of undergraduates. But the preliminary results, which Sternberg presented in August at an APA conference, were dramatic. The Rainbow Project was nearly twice as successful at predicting students' first-year college GPAs as their SAT scores had been.

We need shows like “Will and Grace” with characters like Will, who has a real job, stability, and none of those so-called stereotypical behaviors...
...potential U.N. retaliation and demonstrate fully his cooperation with its resolutions. In fact, he had much to hide as evidenced by his prior willingness to use weapons of mass destruction. In March 1988, Saddam attacked the Kurdish town of Halabja with chemical weapons and cluster bombs, and in August, he dropped poison gas on the village of Birjinni. It does not take much to make the connection between the thousands of victims of his violence and his propensity and capability for future destruction...
