...Radical Rethink Thank you for the article on "Reverse Radicalism," in which you interviewed repentant terrorist Nasir Abas [March 24]. Muslims should listen to him when he says the Koran forbids killing civilians. He could have gone further and stated that Osama bin Laden and others who advocate terrorism are bad Muslims.

...That's a lesson Romania has had to learn the hard way. A year ago, a series of newspaper reports about children committing suicide after their parents had gone to work abroad shocked the country. One of them was 12-year-old Andrei Ciurea, who stayed behind with his brothers, aged 16 and 17, when his mother left to work as a maid in Italy. Newspapers printed a note reading "I am sorry that we have to part in dispute ... Sister keep going to school, Mom take care of the house for the world is bad ... Please take care...
