...honed a fine appreciation for the art of borrowing. And when the more conventional minds of the French cultural establishment - along with their self-occupied counterparts abroad - stop fretting about decline and start applauding the ferment on the fringes, France will reclaim its reputation as a cultural power, a land where every new season brings a harvest of genius...
...wiped off the map and has been undeterred in his pursuit of nuclear capabilities. For peace, Assad would have to end his support of these U.S.-designated terrorist groups and terminate its recent embrace of the apocalyptic visions of theocratic Iran. A return to the “land for peace” formula, articulated in United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for Israeli withdrawal from territories conquered in the Six Day War in exchange for peace, does not address any of these other issues...
...demonstrate that he is interested in peace, which would require ending Syrian support for all anti-Israel organizations and permit the Israeli flag to fly high from a potential Israeli embassy in downtown Damascus, Assad should visit the land of his mortal enemy.

As the sea level rises, vast swaths of coastal land will disappear in coming decades - as much as 18% of Bangladesh's current landmass, according to the World Bank. And as the rivers swell with water from melting Himalayan glaciers, land in the center of the country will also disappear. Those effects, combined with more frequent and stronger cyclones, could spark an exodus of climate refugees fleeing for the cities and for other countries...
