...very discouraging account of the war in Iraq so far, from its flawed inception to its chaotic daily execution. Packer, a staff writer for The New Yorker, begins as "an ambivalently prowar liberal", siding with Iraqi exile friends in their hatred of Saddam but skeptical of the Bush Administration neo-conservatives who thought Iraq could easily be transformed into a pro-American democracy. In Packer's deeply persuasive telling, their false assumptions and inadequate planning ensure that the war will procede down a path into deepening chaos, and it does...

Nikolai Statkevich tried to buck the system in 2001: he ran for President of Belarus. The country calls itself democratic, but President Alexander Lukashenko, in power for 11 years, runs it like the last dictatorship in Europe and brooks no challenges to his neo-Stalinist rule.
