Apply this thinking to Iraq. There is one big, evil dictator running things his way. But if we take over, the reasoning goes, we might make a big mess—we could provoke worldwide anti-American sentiment, slaughter Iraqi civilians and impose some unspecified form of American military rule on the country. But it’ll be our mess, which for us, somehow, appears safer. And, to an American troop on the ground in Iraq, once the US is in control, Bush (and the rest of us) can stop caring...

Contrary to the current sentiment in Tokyo, there is only so much impact a central-bank governor can have on a dysfunctional economy in the first place.

The Administration has always worried that public support for a war--especially one waged without backing from a broad international coalition--was soft. To gain maximum support, the Administration still needs to sell the case...

Al-Afghani still admires the man, but he figures, "Why give myself a headache?" It's the kind of sentiment that signals a romance is breaking up. --With reporting by Amany Radwan/Cairo, Matt Rees/Jerusalem and Simon Robinson/Kuwait City
