...past the U.S. had the option of opting out, as in Vietnam. Now Americans know they are vulnerable; 9/11 brought this home dramatically. American embassies and American businesses are being attacked worldwide. Opting out is not an option. To make the long-term burden sustainable you need a broad alliance, to spread the load, to reduce excessive burdens on yourself. You need others to agree on the basic causes and solutions.

...Croydon, A grim suburb south of London, and the locals are indulging in the standard rituals of an English Friday night. Two guys with broad smiles and droopy eyes stagger into the road, arms outstretched to embrace any lucky target.

And so, despite Republicans' granting some key civil-liberties protections last week, top Democratic aides tell TIME that minority whip Dick Durbin of Illinois plans to lead a filibuster this week.

Upon release, social conservatives accused Watkins of sedition, and the critical establishment dismissed the film as—according to one review—a “paranoid fantasy.” Subsequently, “Punishment” did not receive broad distribution—only a handful of American specialty theaters dared screen the film.As part of their attempt to show this future is not so far from our present, “Punishment” vividly recreates the anarchic violence of the most horrific Vietnam War-era protests.
