...after militants with suspected ties to Iran and Syria bombed the U.S. embassy and the Marine base in Beirut, Reagan abruptly withdrew the soldiers and abandoned Gemayel. Syria forced Gemayel to abrogate his deal with Israel, and Hizballah, the Lebanese Shiite Muslim group founded by Iran, began a guerrilla war that eventually forced out the Israelis in 2000. That triumph that made Hizballah the most powerful faction in Lebanese politics, enabling it to trigger this summer's war with a cross-border raid into Israel and more recently threaten to topple Siniora's government...
Those aren't their only weapons. The U.N. watchdog report circulated to the Security Council last week says Syria has equipped and trained the ICU military. On July 27, the report says, "200 fighters from the ICU were transported by aircraft to Syria to undergo military training in guerrilla warfare." The report also says a Syrian plane delivered a "large quantity" of arms, including surface-to-air missiles, to the ICU in early September. On at least two occasions, Iran supplied the ICU with arms, including a shipment on July 25 of 1,000 machine guns and grenade launchers...
...manifestation of student fervor, the shirt’s message is as clear and emphatic as when it was printed.Though the show at times touches on the question of the role of museums in presenting such works, the issue is never fully explored.

It's just that it's a chicken-and-egg proposition: it might take a long time before there are enough Zunes around for this to be more than a once-in-a-blue-moon situation. There are also some issues that will, hopefully, be resolved in time. For instance, if you want to share the song you're listening to, or even any other song while you're listening, your tune will stop playing for the transfer. Also, even...
...John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance. To underscore his warmer, fuzzier incarnation, supporters often wore pink to rallies instead of the party's more militant red and black. But whether Ortega has shed his penchant for cynicism is another question. He and his Sandinista comrades were global guerrilla heroes when they overthrew the brutal dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979. As Nicaragua's Marxist comandante, Ortega was widely criticized for being as incompetent and corrupt as he was authoritarian. Those who know him say his quest to regain the presidency--he lost elections in 1996 and 2001--stemmed less from...
