...small, but not insignificant, faction in the U.S. military that thinks the only way to stabilize Baghdad is to forcibly disarm al-Sadr's militia. The Hizballah story may have been unofficial, second-tier military lobbying. And the Hadley memo? "A parting gift from Don Rumsfeld," guessed an Iraq expert with close ties to the White House. "He's the only one who had access and motivation. The memo proves his point: it's the political process, not the military operation, that's the problem in Iraq." Would Rumsfeld be so spiteful as to embarrass the President like that...
Sometimes families need a little help from an expert who can stand back from everybody's feelings. One counseling session was enough to help Susan Emerling and her husband resolve an ongoing argument between his daughter and hers soon after the couple married. One of the girls had lots of friends over and complained that her stepsister kept horning in. The other said it wasn't fair to leave her out. The counselor suggested that they make a rule: Whoever had friends over had a right to privacy with them in her bedroom, but if they played in a common...
...takes steps to end the violence. If Baghdad cannot make that happen, the troops would depart at an even faster rate. The genius of the approach is that if security returns as a consequence of this squeeze play, the need for U.S. troops will presumably also decrease.

...supply of expensive gifts Kim lavishes upon high-level loyalists to ensure their allegiance could undermine his rule enough to force him back to the negotiating table-or so the theory goes. But efforts to deprive him of such baubles are "at best pinpricks," says North Korea expert Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute, "slightly raising the premium Kim Jong Il must pay for his goodies on other markets." Even if more countries adopt and enforce the U.S. list of banned items, Kim's cronies will troll the black market or continue to "buy the stuff in China with...
...Mohammed Ali Jinnah was an extraordinary leader of high stature and merit, and one of the most brilliant statesmen of his time. American scholar Stanley Wolpert, a South Asia expert, has remarked that Jinnah was for Pakistan what Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru combined were for India. But while you chose to put Gandhi and Nehru on the cover of one of your editions, you did not afford Jinnah the same courtesy. That's unfair.
