...With stock markets collapsing around the world, nobody needs an illustration of where that kind of hubris can lead. Ordinary folks with bills to pay may smell something funny in fiscal instruments with names like "credit-default swaps," but when you work on Wall Street and people call you a "master of the universe," you think you can make the things pay off. Even nonpartisans would agree that George W. Bush waded into the Iraq mess with more certainty than strategy.

Last night, just 48 hours after the murder of two British soldiers by a dissident republican terrorist group, it saw the kind of action Northern Ireland thought it had left behind for good. A policeman, Constable Stephen Paul Carroll, was shot dead in a nationalist area of the town - northern Irish conurbations still tend to be divided along political and religious lines. Carroll was the first officer to be shot dead in Northern Ireland...
