...agree with Owen that "Closer" is "an adult drama. It's adults talking about sex and fucking each other and the pain of breakup. But even at its most shocking, it's never less than very witty and intelligent. It's a proper grown-up piece of writing about people having sex and the problems that can come with that.

Urge Bush to return to the grandest tradition of American global leadership. The proper maxim is to cajole rather than confront, argue rather than annoy, persuade rather than provoke. Point out that none of America's key interests can be achieved without allies of weight. There is no going it alone when it comes to Iranian and North Korean nukes, Islamic terror or peace...
