...Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini a belief in rule by the clergy in a strict theocratic state. Al-Sadr's strategy, it now appears, is to engage coalition forces in a deadly confrontation, in the belief that Iraqi Shi'ites will support him in a direct showdown with the U.S. His rabid anti-Americanism, which previously failed to connect with the majority of Shi'ites, now strikes a chord. A year after the war began, their tolerance is exhausted. The lower rungs of society are fed up with the slow pace of reconstruction and unkept U.S. promises of a better life. Suspicion...

So intoxicating is Viviane’s hold on Frederic that he doesn’t mind being imprisoned for a crime she committed, later following her across France to Bordeaux’s Hotel Splendide.

It became even worse on the day of Iowa: before the caucuses, the Center reports that 98 percent of the network evening news coverage of Kerry and Edwards was positive, compared to 58 for Dean.

Sawyer even went after Dean’s wife, repeatedly saying that she could just “hear some people out there…saying” (her earpiece must contain a direct feed of the voice of Americans everywhere) that a career woman...
...Krauthammer's rabid xenophobia is downright nauseating. He stoops to the most abject revisionism to make his case against America's longtime allies. Allies are friends. Among the things we expect from friends is an effort to prevent us from making mistakes. Going to war over (nonexistent) weapons of mass destruction (WMD) was a mistake, and the French were right to oppose the U.S. invasion of Iraq. But France agreed that eliminating the Taliban in Afghanistan was a good idea and still contributes there. America's French ally has been polite enough not to scream "I told you so!" about...
