...attempts to help the Iraqi people rebuild a country sputter and stall in the face of a security nightmare. No one in the U.S. government or military can take pride in the postwar situation. Instead of planning to protect Iraqis' most precious resources, we became helpless witnesses to the chaotic looting and sabotage of an entire country. HARRY TUBMAN Pleasant Valley, Conn...
...situation might have been funny if it weren't so horribly sad. The people of Liberia have been pleading for outside help to stop the chaotic civil war that since June has killed over 1,000 civilians. And last week help was supposed to arrive - not the 2,300 U.S. Marines on the three gunships expected off the Liberian coast last weekend (they as yet have no orders to come ashore), but an African peacekeeping force, known as ECOMOG, from the Economic Community of West African States.

...passed this unimaginable trial by water better than Fogle. In the first chaotic minutes, he picked up Dennis Hall, who had fallen into the swift-running current, and threw him to the safety of a raised conveyor belt.

The brand-new Materdei station sports a brightly colored sculpture by Luigi Serafini and a Sandro Chia mosaic. Achille Bonito Oliva, the project...
Commander Mamabaidullah switches off the ignition and alights from his pickup truck onto the desert plain surrounding Spin Boldak, a chaotic Afghan town that borders Pakistan. Followed by four of his Kalashnikov-toting men, he walks briskly toward a graveyard where scores of bodies lie buried beneath mounds of dirt and clay. Mamabaidullah, who is responsible for guarding this stretch of frontier between Afghanistan and Pakistan, stops at the row closest to the border. With evident pride, he explains that they contain the corpses of Taliban militiamen killed by Afghan soldiers during a battle last month. These Taliban, Mamabaidullah says...
