...behest of their rich employers, operating without any oversight or rules of engagement. These gun-toting cowboys charging around in their SUVs taint the already sullied image of our military and government. They went into battle for two reasons: blood and money. Those who live by the sword should expect to perish by it. It is foolish for their families to expect that they are going to be safe. When even journalists and humanitarian relief workers are targets of violence in Iraq, why should these armed men be exempt? Their deaths highlight the ineptitude of the government that...
...remained virtually flat. The point is that while both nations want what one Tokyo official calls a "future-oriented relationship," the future will likely find them on opposite strategic sides. That doesn't mean they can't be good neighbors-good fences and all that-but we can expect friction...
...Equalize Emissions Most of the time Charles Krauthammer comes across as an odious right-wing bully, but in "Limousine Liberal Hypocrisy" [March 26] he did well in demolishing sanctimonious grandstanding on the environment. What do Western leaders expect nearly 1 billion Chinese and Indian farmers to do-burn one less cow-dung cake to play their part in saving the world? The problem lies in the consumption patterns of the West, not those of ordinary Chinese or Indians. A meaningful dialogue on the environment can happen only when the per capita greenhouse-gas emissions of the West and the developing...
...Securities, which had sunk billions of dollars into a Sanyo turnaround, to be patient. The reality is that Sanyo, saddled with $14.7 billion in debt on Sept. 30, according to the company's most recent financial reports, only had the resources to restructure, not revolutionize. With Nonaka gone, analysts expect Sanyo will sell losing divisions while focusing on its best product: rechargeable batteries. That strategy could return Sanyo to profitability, but it won't make the company one that "solves the problems that the world is suffering," as Nonaka once...
...author only partly rises to the challenge, depending rather too heavily on his grandfather's writings and offering little that is factually new. The extra insights that you would expect from a family member are not there. There is a wonderful photograph of Gandhi cuddling young Rajmohan on his lap, but barely any family lore-puzzling, given how much access Rajmohan must have had to his grandfather's siblings, nieces and nephews. Little is said about the author's father, Devdas (a favored youngest son and activist), or his maternal grandfather, the brilliant Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari, second governor-general of independent...
