...finale of Seinfeld, the cast of self-involved characters ended up in jail for nine seasons' worth of selfishness and hilariously brutal indifference to the rest of the world's feelings. At the time, Seinfeld was suffering from too much freedom. "To be honest," he says, "I was kinda lost after the show. I really didn't want to get married, I didn't like being single anymore, and I didn't know what I wanted to do." Whatever he did, it wouldn't be in Hollywood. "I got tired of being treated like a precious little...

Compare this with the Iraq conflict, during which the U.S. government has suppressed images of coffins, let alone casualties, often with the cooperation of the media...

The Ghosn brothers are part of the generation that left Lebanon during the country's brutal 15-year civil war, and who began returning in the 1990s to rebuild the country with skills they learned abroad.
