Bush’s covert Thanksgiving Day stopover at the Baghdad airport for two and a half hours was a particularly fitting example. Encircled by soldiers, the president smiled widely for the cameras, carrying a huge platter with a giant golden-brown turkey, lavish trimmings and bunches of grapes.

Wearing the E.U.'s colors, Cadarache is competing against a Japanese team to host a plant that will attempt to replicate the sun's own energy, fusing hydrogen into helium to exploit a limitless and clean source of power. But locals are not looking as far as the stars: the ITER would inject some €10 billion into the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region over its 30-year life span, generating more than €2 billion in secondary benefits...
