...average American is simply sick of the U.S.'s spending our money and our young people's lives for political ideals. What would Americans do if Saddam Hussein or any other world leader believed that Bush was evil and decided to trump up charges to end his term? I'm a Vietnam veteran, and if that happened, I would start making some car bombs. What right do we have to police the world? Iraq is an Arab problem and should be solved by the Arab world. CHARLES DELLING Waterford, Mich...
...what they do, they are beneath serving God. It isn't what they do that he is concerned with. It's who they are." Yet away from the most controversial issues, the Pope has shown an ability to preach eloquently about the core issues of modern existence - good and evil, charity and consumerism, and the slippery slope of instantaneous self-fulfillment. Ratzinger, says a top aide to a progressive European Cardinal, "has a brilliant way of summing up a concept in a single sentence.

In all, he's a contented man, or he would be if his well being weren't edged with the anxieties that trouble us all after 9/11. On the single day in which this book takes place, with the streets of London jammed by a massive demonstration against the impending Iraq war, he crosses paths with a belligerent stranger. Before this haunting...
...Franz Ferdinand You Could Have It So Much Better; $13.49 These disco-loving Scottish art-school punks spend much of their second album boasting of their badness. Singer Alex Kapranos is blessed with Mick Jaggeresque persuasiveness-Evil and a Heathen and I'm Your Villain would be musts on any syllabus of "Songwriting for Cads"-but he's also growing in ways that suggest depth. The fast songs have more than one musical thought (some even scoot past the 3-min. mark), while the slow ones have the courage to be pretty (Fade Together) and vulnerable (Eleanor Put Your Boots...
