...terror-struck world, war has evolved far beyond one nation fighting another [March 29]. Now a globally dispersed band of Islamist assassins, worshippers of death, blow themselves to bits along with as many innocent victims as possible. The civilized people of the world, regardless of nationality, must devise brand-new strategies for dealing with crazed terrorists. The U.S.'s unilateral actions seem only to be inflaming them.

Compared with other nations, America itself is an amnesia patient, a country with only a fairly recent history to speak of, fabricated out of whole cloth a mere 200 years and change ago by a bunch of people who figured they'd start afresh on a brand-new, spotless continent. Maybe that's why we think we can go overseas and build brand-new nations from scratch--hey, that's how we did it, right? Wipe the slate clean and reprogram the patient?
