...Olmert: As the one who has to take the decision, I can tell you that I genuinely don't think Israel should be on the forefront of this war. I don't know why people think this is first and foremost a war for Israel. It's a problem for every civilized country. Iran is a major threat to the well-being of Europe and America just as much as it is for the state of Israel. I don't think America can tolerate the idea of a leader of nation of 30 million people who can openly speak...
...miss, but when they hit, you feel them in your gut. And each film has at least one shining moment, whether it be flatulent cowboys or synchronized-swimming nuns. A big disappointment: no Brooks commentaries. The collection is incomplete without a juicy vat of pinwheeling ad libs from the foremost tummler--sorry, raconteur--of our time...

There is also a widespread feeling that the developed world, which grew rich while freely spewing carbon, should take most of the responsibility for climate change.

Moscow and Beijing, it seems, have come a long way since the Cold War when, despite their common commitment to Communism, the two had a longstanding rivalry that was eagerly exploited by the U.S. Today, their strategic alliance is based first and foremost on doing business - China wants to increase its consumption of Russian oil and natural gas exports, and much of that growing Chinese defense budget about which Rice complained will be spent on Russian weaponry. But it also appears to dictate a common geopolitical agenda whose objectives include restraining U.S. power...
LAWRENCE B. WILKERSON I'm principally a strategist, and from that perspective the war has been a disaster. First, the foremost winner has been Iran: it rid itself of its greatest threat, Saddam and his military, without firing a shot; won the Dec. 15 Iraq elections; owns the south, particularly Basra; and has felt the freedom to elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who, in turn, has felt the freedom to reclaim leadership of radical Islam, leadership Osama bin Laden claimed on 9/11. Second, the foremost loser--after Iraq itself--has been Israel, whose leaders must now fear more than ever...
