...British government, a dressing down from the judiciary can hardly come much rougher. The High Court in London, in a damning rebuke of ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair's administration, ruled Thursday that the government's own Serious Fraud Office (SFO) broke the law in 2006 when it scrapped a corruption probe into arms deals between BAE Systems, Britain's biggest defense firm, and Saudi Arabia...

Certainly, the saffron and burgundy robes, the serene statuary, all paint an exotic picture that brings to mind harmless, crystal-wearing Californians rather than religious fanatics. Our image of a clash of civilizations does not include renegade Buddhist monks. Nevertheless, we should be every bit as worried about the protest marches in Bangkok as those in other countries with different faiths, because the Thai call to prayer is being driven by the same worrying trends: nationalism...
