...good question, and one that deserves a careful answer. It's never easy--and is often presumptuous--to give advice to those who live in the shadow of the terrorist's bomb. Yet before policymakers in the West decide that India deserves unstinting support, it is important to understand that there are different kinds of terrorism and that combatting them requires distinct strategies...
...orbit, excludes any other particle from occupying exactly the same orbit. That may be as apt a metaphor as any for the unique odyssey of the collection of atoms that was Andrei Sakharov.

Megiddo is where the end of the world begins, according to Christian prophecy. It looked a little like that Wednesday, when a Palestinian sent by Islamic Jihad pulled his car alongside a bus loaded with Israeli passengers there, and detonated a bomb that turned it instantly into a flaming hulk, killing 16 aboard.
