Senior Writer Roger Rosenblatt contributed two remarkable chronicles last year to TIME. In a January cover story, he reported on a 25,000-mile odyssey that he took to meet with "children of war" from Northern Ireland, Israel and the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Cambodia and Viet Nam.

He wrote in the Wall Street Journal: "We liberals cannot avert our eyes from what ensued: 3 million murders in Cambodia, total deprivation of human rights in Viet Nam and a falling of dominoes .. .
