...Arabic linguist on??his second tour in Iraq, Zachary Scott-Singley, 24, understood the fighting part. It's the setting-up-the-democracy part he doesn't get. "I do feel like we were lied to about our reasons for being here," he writes in his meditative, almost daily blog about life in Saddam's hometown, posting pictures of what he sees on his base: a headless palm tree that had been hit by a mortar, for example, or a gold carp caught in the Tigris. "Here," he writes, "they teach you to trust no one because anyone might...
While I appreciated your story on??the musical talents of West, did you really need to go so far as to call him a "class act"? You noted that West dropped out of college and made something of himself. Kids are going to read that and think they can do it too. But that isn't classy, just lucky. And what about West's lyrics?

Not pretend sex, to mirror the spectacles of fake violence in summer action pictures, but genuine, clinical whoopee. The French led the way, with the sex-splatter epic Baise-moi and Catherine Breillat's Romance. Now comes the first film (actually, digital video) by a respected British director--Michael Winterbottom, whose works include Welcome to Sarajevo, Jude and 24 Hour Party People...
...applaud your extensive report on??China [June 27]. As a person who has traveled to China and fallen in love with it, I appreciate your effort to broaden Americans' view of this often misunderstood country. China has made progress economically, but there are many major social issues that it has yet to face, such as high rates of female infanticide as well as rural poverty, religious persecution and restriction of freedoms. You are doing readers a great service by giving them a glimpse into the inner workings of another country...
