...undertook the rescue of other Muslim peoples (with varying success) in Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo. We would never have invaded Iraq to depose Saddam without 9/11. After 9/11, we finally understood that helping build decent, representative, tolerant societies in the Middle East is ultimately the only way to prevent endless generations of young Arab men from finding fulfillment by crashing airplanes into buildings filled with infidels. Europe has a similar interest, having suffered, with the train bombings in Madrid, the kind of fanatic nihilism that visited the Twin Towers...
...Gonzales' complicity in the Bush Administration decision to use severe physical interrogation techniques. A similar apathy was the response to the excesses of the Patriot Act, the question of immigrant rights, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's ineptness and arrogance, the need for affordable health insurance and, most tragic, the endless slaughter in Iraq.

"That's standard operating procedure." How much incentive do they need? Says the diplomat: "The giving can be endless." Despite hopeful speculation, a resumption of talks may depend on cold, hard cash...
Farfetched? Maybe not. Like a religious text, Lost is open to endless interpretation. In one episode, Kate and con man Sawyer (Josh Holloway) fight over a locked briefcase that she says holds something of hers. Sawyer offers to give it to her if she will say what's inside. "I don't care what it is," he says. "What's burning me up is why it means so much to you." The line is a perfect summary of Alias' and Lost's maddening appeal. Their characters hold secrets behind impenetrable locks. We know that the mysteries will never be solved...
