...handing out pamphlets and grabbing handshakes from bemused residents, many of whom barely had time to register his face and blurted message, "Vote for us tomorrow, please," before he moved on. In the city-state, where the opposition has to contend with a monolithically progovernment media, this kind of flesh pressing is especially critical.

Last week Rumsfeld acknowledged as much when he defended the military's use of flesh-shredding cluster bombs on Taliban trenches. "They are being used on front-line al-Qaeda and Taliban troops," he explained, "to try to kill them." Americans rarely hear so blunt a sales pitch. From here on in, they'd better get used...
