...furious. They killed my men. If I could, I would drop napalm bombs all over that village." TRAIKWAN KRAIRIKSH, Thai marine captain, on the fate of two soldiers abducted and beaten to death by Muslim separatists in the country's southern Narathiwat province last week...
...critics?an iconoclastic group that delights in punching holes in the heroes that many Indians hold sacred. This lot, shooting off columns in magazines and papers, has suggested that Pandey wasn't fighting for India, which didn't even exist in 1857, but was just a village boy furious that he couldn't be a good Hindu because of the animal fat on his cartridges.

Americans sometimes ask what the government does and where their tax money goes. Among other things, it pays for all kinds of invisible but essential safety nets and life belts and guardrails that are useless right up until the day they are priceless. Furious critics charged last week that the government had not heard the warnings. Instead it cut the funds for flood control and storm preparations, mangled the chain of command, missed every opportunity. And an angry debate opened about how much the demands of the Iraq war, on both the budget and the National Guard, were eating into...
