...male subjects should encourage further dating. Bobby Cannavale uses his amputated arm to sucker women into bed. Dominic Cooper is a fast talking undergrad, who employs the victim defense to improve his grade. In a gleeful little sequence, Josh Charles gives the same speech five times over to break up with different women. The less hideous men, the ones who describe being actually touched by women, like Krasinski and Christopher Meloni (whose bit feels inspired by In the Company of Men) come across as lost and rather foolish boys...
...possible that the only ways to break these various logjams are unpleasant ones: withholding some U.S. aid to Israel so long as the settlement-building continues (as the first Bush Administration did) and imposing stricter sanctions against Iran. Neither path is likely. American Jews are among the Democratic Party's most loyal supporters, and Barack Hussein Obama probably won't want to encourage the fears, stoked by neoconservatives, that he is not a friend of Israel. The rigor of the Iran sanctions will be determined by the Russians and Chinese, who have not been willing to exert much pressure...

Under a treaty sponsored by the IAEA, permanent inspectors and surveillance technologies could be installed in the current or future civilian nuclear-development programs of all 22 of the Arab League nations, plus Israel and Iran, backed by the threat of immediate sanctions and possible military action for any breaches of the agreement not to build weapons. This would allow Iran to save face and maintain its ostensibly civilian nuclear program and, in exchange for the decommissioning of Israeli weapons, reassure...
...feminist readings of the Quran and Islamic traditions. Indonesia's two largest Muslim political parties - the Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah - have intricate campaigns promoting women's rights. Indonesian feminists, male and female alike, have worked with progressive pesantran to develop women-friendly interpretations of shari'a - a radical break with the conservative notions of shari'a across the Muslim world, which tend to be heavily reliant on the world views of medieval - and male - jurists...
