...accuse Bush of hypocrisy often cite his stating during a 2000 presidential debate that "if we're an arrogant nation, they'll view us that way, but if we're a humble nation, they'll respect us." But that was an answer designed, says a Bush adviser, to paint Al Gore as a know-it-all and send a signal to Israel that Bush was not going to meddle in its affairs. Condoleezza Rice did promise that the 82nd Airborne wouldn't be escorting children to school, but it was the small acts of international charity and the global police...

...yada, and a portal to hell opens, flooding the station with demons, which the player must dispatch with an assortment of high-caliber weapons. Doom 3 tells the same story but this time treats it with surprisingly artistic tenderness. Carmack's light engine allows the game's designers to paint the story the way a film director would, with light and shadow, like a noir mystery. Scenes are lit by broken light fixtures, flickering and swinging, or cut up by the shadow of a spinning overhead fan. id's designers have worked wonders, despite the newness of the technology...
