...some reason, it has not occurred to the Treasury Secretary that at his next public appearance, he should take responsibility for everything that has gone wrong in the financial world since he was sworn in. He can then refuse to resign and say that he has the full support of the President. The most important thing he can do is say that the AIG and Merrill Lynch compensation issues are no longer a matter of interest. If the Justice Department wants to pursue them, it can have the files...
...After lowering taxes in 1981, Reagan raised them in 1982 and 1983. In many cases, especially deregulation--I'm talking about you, Lawrence Summers--Democrats were complicit in the excesses. In almost every case, a mild form of Reaganism was a plausible corrective for the Democratic excesses that had gone before.

Reconciliation is difficult in a land where the 1,400-year-old Shi'ite-Sunni schism is still very much alive. Gone are the days when some Iraqi men carried three national identification cards - one listing their name as Omar (a predominantly Sunni name), another as Ali (predominantly Shi'ite) and a third as Ammar (which can be either). Still, few families have trickled back to the homes they fled in areas that witnessed...
