...learned and propagated the ideologies and tactics he would later put into action on behalf of American interests—while hiding them as best he could from the American people. This trusty aide and right-hand man helped plan the assassination of foreign leaders in Chile to pave the way for Pinochet, and stood by with weapons while Suharto slaughtered 200,000 East Timorese. He opposed and obstructed Vietnam peace talks in 1968 to help Nixon and his “secret plan” get elected, and then convinced him (although it probably wasn’t hard...

Or perhaps we would find that al-Qaeda, as some already suspect, is more of a phenomenon than an organization. In that case, bin Laden's fate as a martyr might still pave the way for more terrorist attacks against Western targets across the world, exactly what the U.S. has been trying to avert.

For half a century, economists...
IVORY COAST Last Chance Treaty President Laurent Gbagbo went on national television to endorse a French-brokered peace accord that he signed with rebel forces. His speech may pave the way for the end of the four-month-old civil war. Earlier, the French government sent 450 more troops to bring its forces in the country up to about 3,000. Most are likely to protect the pro-government commercial capital, Abidjan, and the 12,000 French citizens still in the country...
