...Vedder, who has already had his share of inner conflict, has been dizzied by the transformation from outsider to idol. "Any kinda quick success of the kind we had is inevitably bound to provoke some degree of contempt," he told Britain's Melody Maker newspaper. "I end up having a lot of difficulties with it myself. I'm being honest when I say that sometimes when I see a picture of the band or a picture of my face taking up a whole page of a magazine, I hate that...
...Flash forward two months, and the national debate has finally caught up with political reality. It now focuses on the end of the Iraq conflict - on "timetables," "timelines" or, in the Orwellian Newspeak of the White House, "joint aspirational time horizons."

Speaking for the African Union, Tanzanian Foreign Minister Bernard Membe told Agence France-Presse that if Al-Bashir is arrested, Sudan will face "a power vacuum . . . that risks military coups and widespread anarchy reminiscent of . . .

...Middle East, and its penchant for regime change. That might happen on its own in November if Barack Obama becomes President. But a package deal would also have to solve the Iranian nuclear issue, map out the future of post-American Iraq, solve the Syrian-Israeli conflict, the Lebanese-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict all in one go. Would any American President, or any world leader, be able to pull that off in two years?
