...stick to the rules of the journalist in this book. I don't preach and say, "Here's what we have to do." I simply go to experts all over the world and [present] interesting facts and let readers draw the conclusions. ... One thing I've discovered is that everybody is concerned about the number of human beings on the planet. Whether you are an environmentalist or just somebody who likes to go out and ride a three-wheel bike or go hunting, all the places that you remember as a kid that you could hang...

(Any Democrat is likely to benefit if violence requires an increase in troops or if the current draw down is halted.) Another says that the lower the violence in Iraq, the better for candidates who have relatively less experience on foreign and national security policy, like Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee, because the issue becomes less important to voters...
