...scenes of coalition soldiers physically abusing Iraqi prisoners fueled Arab rage and became, fairly or not, symbols of the much-resented U.S. occupation of Iraq. President Bush expressed a "deep disgust" with the crimes and vowed that those responsible would be brought to justice. Six soldiers face courts-martial over the affair, and the officer in charge of the prison, Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, has been suspended. Attorneys for the accused say their clients were only following orders to soften up the prisoners for interrogation and that the guards are being made scapegoats. Major General Geoffrey Miller, the former head...
...Baba Lukman personifies the south's rage against Bangkok. A slightly built man in his 50s, he is a self-confessed separatist fighter who leads a cell of militants aligned to a group calling itself New P.U.L.O. (According to Andrew Tan, a regional security expert at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, New P.U.L.O. is one of six main groups that have recently pooled their resources under a single banner, Bersatu, the Malay word for united.)

But he won an Oscar this year for mobilizing an implacably vengeful rage as the father of a murdered girl in Mystic River. Before that, he turned his anger into the rancid sullenness of a tormented guitar player in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown and made us sympathize with an unapologetic killer in Tim Robbins' death-row drama, Dead Man Walking...
...article in the Atlantic, Lewis identified the struggle between Islam and the West as a "clash of civilizations," long before the term was fashionable. The roots of Muslim rage, he argued, lay less in any evils of the West than in a "feeling of humiliation" in the Islamic world, deriving from the fact that Muslims' proud civilization had been "overtaken, overborne and overwhelmed by those whom they regarded as their inferiors." Once the the rage and failure of the Islamic world slipped out of their natural confines, as they did on Sept. 11, 2001, neoconservatives were able to argue that...
