...heart Mao Zedong's maxim that "the seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution," killing and abducting enemies and using coercion and force to win support among the very same villagers they claim to be liberating. To protest state "exploitation," the Maoists regularly order farmers in their regions to stop growing food or to raise the sale prices for certain items. Farmers who defy such bans have been summarily executed, say human-rights groups such as the Chhattisgarh-based Forum for Fact-Finding Documentation...

...spent time with him in the past few weeks, I'm more persuaded than ever that it's wrong. Blair is not without faults. In the Middle East, where he has so far achieved little concrete success as the Quartet's envoy, it is uncomfortably common to hear the claim that he spreads himself too thin. He can, no question, come across as a bit cocksure in the rightness of his judgments. But he swims in deep waters. He is convinced, he told me, that in the rich world, "without spiritual values, there is an emptiness that cannot be filled...
