...President George W. Bush the devil, made no contribution to peace [Oct. 2]. Chávez tried to transform an important forum of debate into a circus. Maybe he thought that he was on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, or maybe he was trying to mimic Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who banged the lectern with his shoe in the same forum. Both leaders were disrespectful to the delegates, U.N. officials and the U.N. as an institution that represents our ultimate hope for peace. Secretary-General Kofi Annan should take measures to avoid such occurrences in the future and uphold...

Russia is even starting an Arabic-language TV channel in the Middle East to spread its influence. With a little luck, the potential exists for Moscow to play a pivotal role in certain Middle...
...feel sorry for the people who live in a dull world where they can’t listen to the views of others.” In 1966, supporters of the protesters said that just as Americans would have supported student uprisings in Eastern Europe against a visiting Nikita Khrushchev, students should demonstrate against the “butchers of Vietnam.” But there is a time and place for throwing courtesy to the wind, and a commencement address by a (not particularly offensive) senator is not one.
