...that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism" and the Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden. As ludicrous as it sounds now, the Taliban commanders, for at least a few weeks last fall, seriously believed they had a chance.

When a month of U.S. air strikes failed to break the Taliban's grip on power or kill its senior leaders, there was grumbling at home that the war was stalled.

When criticisms of Israel are expressed, the charge of anti-Semitism serves to deflect attention from the Israeli governmental actions that prompted the criticisms onto a debate about the morals and motives of the critics. We hope the petition will spark discussion of these issues in the Harvard community, and we invite supporters...
...faithful from both cities saw last weekend, it will take something otherworldly—perhaps some favorable karma from Ted Williams’ ghost or Pedro Martinez acquiring the ability to start every single game or even, dare I say it, a players’ strike—to stop the Curse from allowing the Bronx Bombers to disappoint Red Sox fans once again...
