...associate editor for The Harvard Salient, I have seen this so-called journal of conservative repute devolve into a state where it no longer expounds mainstream conservative thinking, but instead represents the ideas shared by only a small fringe minority that manages to convince no one and gains the ire of students of all ideological stripes. Most of all, The Salient has become known as the talking head of the conservative movement at Harvard, providing the perception that the campus right, whether it is the Republicans or other conservative groups are all maintained by “right-wing?...
...cloth may bring down the nation's government and push its democratic institutions and secular traditions to crisis. On April 29, nearly a million Turkish citizens flooded Istanbul's trendiest downtown district in one of the largest demonstrations the ancient capital has ever seen. The cause of their ire: Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) had named Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, a politician with an Islamist past, to be the next President.

This unleashed the ire of Markos Moulitsas Z?niga, proprietor of the Daily Kos blog, who wrote with typical restraint, "What a ridiculous thing to say. Not only is it bad policy, not only is it bad politics, it's also a terrible negotiating approach. Instead of threatening Bush with even more restrictions and daring...
...that's just the beginning. U.S. officials and Kurdish leaders know that unilateral moves by Kurds--to take Kirkuk on their own or drop out of the Iraqi government--would not only provoke the ire of Iraq's Arab majority but also risk intervention by Iraq's neighbors, such as Turkey, Iran and Syria, which all have restive Kurdish minorities of their own. Turkey, for instance, would likely shut the borders with Kurdistan and stop all flights coming in from over its airspace. Of all the problems that would follow, the most ironic could be that a newly independent...
