...Israeli police were preparing a security cordon around the King David Hotel for the Tuesday night arrival of Senator Barack Obama, shots rang out a short distance away - Israeli civilians and police shot dead an Arab bulldozer driver who'd gone on a rampage overturning vehicles and wounding 11 people...
...gone from some of the richest in Asia to among its poorest. An election won by the opposition was duly ignored. Political prisoners crowd jails. The most recent example of the generals' callousness came in May when Cyclone Nargis devastated the country's Irrawaddy Delta, leaving 138,000 people dead or missing and causing $4 billion in damage, according to an international assessment released on July 21. Yet instead of promptly accepting offers of help from around the world, the regime spent weeks refusing visas to foreign aid workers and setting up roadblocks to stop international agencies from delivering relief...
...suspect that Abu Tir was carrying out a copycat attack, similar to one on July 2 in which an Arab worker, apparently after a salary dispute with his boss, turned his bulldozer into a lethal weapon, killing three people on a main street in Jerusalem before he was shot dead.

The net result: both sides were more or less back where they had started, at a cost of 54,246 Americans and more than a million Chinese and Koreans dead. To this day, an uneasy armistice prevails. A formal peace treaty has never been signed. The war left writers as well as politicians strangely silent. Korea inspired no All Quiet on the Western Front, no From Here to Eternity, no Dispatches. Most books on the subject are military histories, bristling with...
