...many wars, and Israeli university students—most of whom just completed their mandatory three-year army service—can recite the years of the major conflicts by heart: 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982. I wonder how many American university students can give the years of the Korean War or the Vietnam...
...strangeness, Eastern societies have dehumanized the scientist in a completely opposite way: They have deified him. In many Asian countries, scientists are national heroes.

...long run, the failure to find a meaningful deterrent for North Korean provocations may mean Kim will become bolder in his stunts, which are geared to extort maximum aid from the countries threatened by his saber rattling. Jing Huang, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington says he thinks China's patience may be wearing thin. "This missile crisis will be the beginning of the end," Huang predicts. "It is forcing Beijing to see [that] the consequences of North Korea's actions are all bad for China." Says Green: "I think China is going to exert far more...
