...European, I couldn't agree more with columnist Klein's position: "There is something fundamentally un-American?and very European?about the Clintons and the Bushes trading the office every eight years, with stale, familiar corps of retainers, supporters and enemies." American democracy demands new faces. Klein also noted that if Hillary runs for President, it would be "a circus, a revisitation of the carnival ugliness that infested public life in the 1990s." I'm afraid that whoever the candidates will be, the campaign will be ugly. In American politics, the parties seem to think that no matter how preposterous...

In fact, Democracy Corps-a polling consortium run by Democrats James Carville, Stan Greenberg and Bob Shrum-- tested products named after well-known popularizers of the economic aspects of these points of view: the eminently Sane New York Times columnist Tom Friedman and the surprisingly Passionate CNN anchor Lou Dobbs.

John Simpson Nashua, New Hampshire, U.S. As a European, I couldn't agree more with columnist Klein's position: "There is something fundamentally un-American - and very European - about the Clintons and the Bushes trading the office every eight years, with stale, familiar corps of retainers, supporters and enemies." American democracy demands new faces. Klein also noted that if Hillary runs for President, it would...
...cover article to hailing the "conservatism of doubt." For the less bookish, Hollywood spends $130 million on a Crusader epic in which the heroes are 12th century multiculturalists, Christian and Muslim, who want nothing more than love, peace and interfaith understanding. (Such people inhabit 21st century Hollywood, but as columnist John Podhoretz points out, they were nowhere to be seen in 12th century Jerusalem...
