...What Makes a President? In "Medals Don't Make A President," Charles Krauthammer argued against the apparent Democratic logic that a decorated military man is capable of wise leadership as President [Feb. 23]. The biggest mistake made in Vietnam was to continue the war as President Lyndon B. Johnson did. But Kerry's calling the Vietnam War "Nixon's war" can be justified. Richard Nixon was a cold warrior. He didn't want to lose in Vietnam, and he ordered the secret bombings of Laos and Cambodia. Wong Chun Han Singapore...
Standing in front of a large metal slicer carving its way through semi-frozen chicken, Allen explains the simple logic behind the CSG. “We only make things that make sense,” he says...
Then there is the small matter of what could happen in the future if a President Kerry decided that military action had become unavoidable, and sought the support of the European Union. Kerry’s “coalition of the bribed” logic has sent a none-too-subtle message that Warsaw and Rome should have deferred to their betters in Paris and Berlin in 2002 and 2003 and that is hardly going to win back support from the two largest nations at the heart of the E.U. in the future; in fact, it is more likely...
...idea that because individual Americans died, 9/11--whether as image, event or political issue--is outside the public domain is absurd.

"All the amazing people that I've worked with--Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman," he says, "have told me consistently: Don't compromise. Do your work, and if what you're giving is not what they want, you have to be prepared to walk away." Or get canned. Depp came perilously close to being fired from Pirates of the Caribbean when his melding of Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew freaked...
