...credit, Bono never stops noodling with ways to make a connection. He slips into characters (a soldier in "White as Snow," a journalist in "Cedars of Lebanon"), scats like a young Beat poet and, in a moment he will probably regret, impersonates your office IT guy ("Restart and reboot yourself") on a ham-fisted attempt at life-coaching.

The surge in troops presents the appearance of action while gambling American and Iraqi lives on the outcome. If stability in Iraq is restored, even short-term, Bush can denounce his naysayers. If the surge fails to effect a long-term change, the conflict will probably last until Bush leaves office - and then he can blame failure on his successor. Bush is a canny politician but no leader.
