...bombs, a war that possessed its own terrible clarity: that of simple, ferocious hate; of civilization pitted against civilization, race against race, blood against blood. That kind of fighting still occurs: in the Balkans, in Rwanda and Burundi, in the streets of Los Angeles and Karachi. But the imagination of the world pays little heed to the sensibilities of such conflicts. Minds have been polarized by the cold war and fascinated by the mighty mushroom clouds of 1945--by the imminence of endless death from the radiance of a thousand suns.

...even a determined Hillary Clinton will find it hard to turn attention away from Pakistan's perils. She arrives little more than two weeks after three U.S. consulate workers were ambushed in Karachi and two of them slain. Some Pakistani officials theorize that the killings could have been meant as a warning against her trip. Pakistani authorities no doubt hope the latest arrests will help calm the atmosphere, even though there is no connection so far between Yousef's associates and the murders.
