...Iraq’s sectarian bloodshed, this claim whitewashes the gross illegality of their presence. In the words of the Nuremberg Tribunal, preemptive aggression of this sort constitutes the “supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” Where’s the International Criminal Court when it matters...
Outside of New England, fans are howling about Belichick and his team. For a healthy dose of anti-Pats vitriol, just visit the I Hate New England Patriots and Evil Patriots blogs on the Web. Belichick is asked if this venom gets under his shredded collar. He cites The Best and the Brightest, the late David Halberstam's classic analysis of Vietnam-era leaders who were more obsessed with winning the public-relations battle than the actual fight on the ground.

On The Wire, black and white...
...Bill Moyers' interview with Lucas: the paradox of Lucas' monistic beliefs is that they cannot explain the mythical themes that make Star Wars so powerful. Lucas has written a story of redemption, one that defines evil as a deviant, consuming corruption of the good. To make sense, Star Wars needs a personal God. But Lucas washes God out with his flimsy Force. The result? Guidance without a guide, power without a purpose, goodness without a ground. Since the contradiction of a theistic myth in pantheistic clothing appears lost on Lucas, it also will surely be lost on most...
