...both contests her opponents argued that Pelosi was too liberal, and she hasn't forgotten. Her relationship with Hoyer is tense, and when Pennsylvania Representative John Murtha said he would run against Hoyer for House majority leader if Democrats won this fall, Pelosi did little to dissuade him. When Frost, who is now out of Congress, unsuccessfully ran for chair of the Democratic National Committee last year, Pelosi repeatedly rebuffed his attempts to get her support. While she declines to discuss those conflicts, Pelosi told TIME, "Anybody who's ever dealt with me knows not to mess with me." Pelosi...
...tyrant, but in the calm of the aftermath they perceived their own propensity to one day also act tyrannically, so they legislated against themselves. The British government is considering profiling Muslim air passengers in the wake of recent security concerns. Is that justifiable?

In Search of Lost Time is six volumes long and rife with allusions and metaphors, so easy to apply Proust to just about anything. Wondering why that delicious cookie tastes so good?

...Iraqis can’t keep it together. Guess they’re not ready to handle democracy. Reading about the acts of barbarism occurring every day in the Middle East, it’s easy to pass judgment on a violent foreign culture. We’ve conveniently forgotten how our own country was preserved.Back in the American 1860s, two irreconcilable factions shot at each other and blew each other up until one faction managed to conquer the other.Brutal violence, occupation, and submission kept the United States together, not some diplomatic solution. If Iraq follows our example, fighting will...
...caution is reinforced by military experts who note that even if Israel clears a buffer zone - which would require the forced eviction of tens of thousands of Lebanese villagers - Hizballah rockets fired from beyond the Litani River could still reach north and central Israel. And war planners have not forgotten that the last time Israeli forces dug in north of the border, their bases and supply lines were easy prey for Hizballah's guerrilla units...
