...land, even, perhaps, secretly instigating such turmoil; that he is not an architect of progress but at times its impediment. ''If I start defending myself on that,'' De Klerk says, hunching forward in his chair and clenching his teeth, ''I would also have to go on the attack.'' The mutual bitterness and resentments between De Klerk and Mandela are palpable. How could these two have agreed on anything -- lunch, for instance, much less the remaking of a nation? In one sense, the answer is simple. Mandela and De Klerk perfectly meet the first precondition of peacemakers: they do not like...
...Except that this phony war has made "men" of them-if you define manhood in its most primitive form: as bonding on the basis of mutual sweating, swearing, swaggering under impossible conditions. But that, in its way, is the genius of this movie. Mendes, whose previous films (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) bear no resemblance to Jarhead, except in the well-calculated expertise of his direction-lots of handheld cameras in constant motion here-is totally non-judgmental, entirely unsentimental.

[Oct. 10]. I believe that all European leaders who want to accept Turkey as a member are completely ignoring the will of their citizens. There were moments in European history when people's freedom was severely threatened. But now it seems there is no freedom to speak of. Decisions are made over the heads of European citizens without any respect for their opinion. Rudi...
...tapped the like-minded Libby to be his right-hand man. In the months before the Iraq war, Libby, Cheney and Wolfowitz formed the core of an influential group of neoconservatives that pushed President Bush to remove Saddam Hussein from office. Their ideas and their respect were-and are-mutual. "I'm a great fan of the Vice President," Libby told Larry King in 2002. "I think he's one of the smartest, most honorable people I've ever...
