...resistant tuberculosis in resource-poor settings, a fact I copied directly from Harvard's website because I don't understand it. Farmer recently upgraded from living in a church rectory in Boston to a college dorm for the few months he's not in his home in a squatters' settlement in Cange, Haiti. He is the only person on Earth who could have lasted in a guilt-off with Mother Teresa...
...bits along with as many innocent victims as possible. The civilized people of the world, regardless of nationality, must devise brand-new strategies for dealing with crazed terrorists.

It is the prospect of the green and white banners...

It's worth remembering that the first Bush administration, in order to maintain Arab participation in its Gulf War coalition, threatened to cut Israel's funding in order to force a halt to settlement activity. But today's Iraq coalition has negligible participation by Arab allies, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq has turned most of their citizenry against the U.S. - it's not as if U.S. standing in the Arab world could fall much further. Except, perhaps, inside Iraq: the plight...
