Beinart may be right in hailing a new dawn for American liberal politics, but before he celebrates, beware that this is not just another false dawn like so many before. Weren't we almost as enthused in 1960 when Kennedy beat Nixon? Look what happened within a decade: the moon landing, but also Vietnam and Nixon.

Salah had to be evacuated to Amman, where surgeons saved his life. After a long recovery, he and his family moved to a small town outside Melbourne in Australia. They had to leave their dog behind. And as violence escalated in Baghdad and disrupted supply chains, dog food once again disappeared from shelves in Wardah. Now it's back again, just as Iraqis are emerging from a long...

"The recession is on and we're trying to save money," said Renita Raghubir, 22, who had just splurged on some Guess and DKNY jeans.
