...election by a very slim margin. No great performance there. And the President is by no means a revolutionary. He is responsible for invading a country under false pretenses, clamping down on personal freedoms at home, conducting a reckless fiscal policy and letting the dollar slide. It's an insult to the word revolutionary to apply it to Bush. Frank M. Wiesebron Paris Bush's winning a second term as President makes him deserving of being Person of the Year. He has remained strong in adversity. I hope that during the next four years he will take the necessary steps...
...Citizens Bank branch is just the latest insult in the step-by-step decline of the Square. Before Abercrombie—a place where a college kid could at least spend some time—that site housed the Tasty, a diner where students could even—gasp!—spend time together. The next logical phase in this evolution towards total uselessness to most of us will probably be when that space becomes a real estate office—or perhaps just an extension of the Omega store—into which I will truly never...
...that the tide of history can sweep away many things, but it can't whitewash China's collective memory of the Japanese invasion in the 1930s. It has haunted the Chinese for decades. People were massacred, cities bombed, children orphaned and a country defeated. The invasion was the worst insult to China in the 20th century.

...about to leave for the speech, two close allies, M.P.s Volodymyr Felenko and Taras Stetskiv, rushed into his office. Government sources had told them Yanukovych planned to chair a Cabinet meeting the following day, thumbing his nose at the still-unofficial result. "It was an open insult to the people, and to the Rada [parliament] that voted to fire Yanukovych earlier this month," Stetskiv told Time. He urged Yushchenko to tell the Maidan about Yanukovych's plan, and to call outgoing President Leonid Kuchma to demand that he stop the Cabinet meeting. Yushchenko looked out the window to the wooded...
...also outraged by constant denials by the Japanese government on topics ranging from the biological-weapons program to comfort women, and I am disgusted by the deliberate omission or glorification of the war in Japanese history books. Therefore, every visit by Japanese leaders to the Yasukuni Shrine adds insult to the injuries of victims of Japanese militarism. The animosities would have been laid to rest had General Douglas MacArthur applied the denazification process used in Germany to Japan in 1945. We do not want the blood of the Japanese people. We only want them to recognize the blood of millions...
