...many First Ladies of major democracies record songs about sex, drugs and other R-rated activities? How banal is it for Bruni to be provoking official protest from Bogota over her song Ma Came, (My Smack), which likens love for her man to addictive Columbian cocaine and Afghan heroin? Ditto the track Ta Tienne, (Yours), in which Bruni refers (presumably to Sarkozy) as "my lord, my darling, my orgy...

...United Nations routinely falls short of its ambitions - even with the deployment of the world's biggest peacekeeping force in Sudan and Darfur. The same is true for eastern Congo, where fighting has continued despite the presence of what, until Darfur, was the world's biggest U.N. force. Ditto Rwanda 1994, when the major powers at the U.N. ensured that the organization remained paralyzed in the face of the genocide...
