From the 18th century on, however, various thinkers developed a bill of complaints about substitution, although few wanted to abandon it totally. To some Americans, Calvin's angry, all-powerful God was too reminiscent of the arbitrary tyrant by whose overthrow the country had defined itself. In an age when Thomas Jefferson was literally cutting out all references to miracles from his copy of the Bible, substitution's supernatural structure perturbed some Enlightenment rationalists. Its scant room for human volition contradicted a growing 18th and 19th century optimism that the species could perfect itself through its own efforts...
...studied for a private session with the commission in February, and she will be peppered with mock questions from aides. Sources tell TIME that Rice plans a 20minute opening statement to make the case for the Bush team. She's likely to stress the Administration's efforts to overthrow the Taliban before 9/11. She told TIME last month the Bush team was out not only to "arm the Northern Alliance in an important way but also to find and develop relationships with southern tribes so that you could get the Taliban where it hurts."

Kim’s suspicion that the United States intends to launch “a war of aggression against the DPRK,” as last week’s radio address put it, seems to be the driving motivation behind North Korea’s nuclear build-up. But then, this...
Your coverage of the U.S. military's return to Haiti after the overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide [March 15] clearly showed that the people of Haiti are incapable of governing themselves. It is time that we stop trying to fix the same problem over and over. Instead, the U.N. should authorize France to make Haiti a colony once again, for the next 20 years. During that time--and with aid from other nations--France would be responsible for disarming the rabble; creating a public school system with universal education; establishing a police force and a defensive army; rebuilding...
