...only imagine what they were thinking as the President addressed the nation about a week later from an otherwise desolate Jackson Square in New Orleans' soon-to-reopen French Quarter. The man who said during his re-election campaign that "government is limited in its capacity to heal and help" spoke in bold terms about "one of the largest reconstruction efforts the world has ever seen," proposing a tax-advantaged Gulf Opportunity Zone to create jobs, worker-recovery accounts to help evacuees pay for job training and child care, and even an Urban Homesteading Act to let some low-income...

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, who heads the Muslim Council of Britain, an umbrella group with some 350 affiliated institutions, traveled to Leeds to talk to worshippers in one of the city's biggest mosques. Yet the visit, designed to heal wounds, was not a complete success. The Guardian reported that young men criticized Sacranie - who was recently knighted for "services to the Muslim community, to charity and to community relations" - for failing to seek them out during his visit. To be sure, the older generation has to find ways to reach...
