...Such arguments might sound convincing until one bothers listen to women wearing those same veils, and their earnest explanations that the coverings symbolize modesty, humility, devotion to their faith, and subservience to no one but their god. Unless all these women are self-denying liars manipulated by radical males, shouldn't their interpretation of headscarf symbolism be regarded as at least as legitimate as hijab and niqab opponents? The problem with symbols is they are exactly as potent or weak as the passion invested in them - and both sides of this debate see some powerful symbolism in headscarves...

...minimize the importance of overthrowing the Galactic Empire or dumping The Ring in Mount Doom, but shouldn?t there be a place in the canon of epic films for a story about a man trying to keep his dying beloved alive? Kids, who think they?ll live forever, might not hook up to this trope, but adults should. They?ve certainly seen it before: Armand trying to breathe life into the dying Marguerite Gautier, or Romeo trying to shake the poison out of Juliet, or Isolde going operatic over Tristan.

...watching an aging rocker with too much ego back onstage: the old flashy moves may evoke the glory days but no longer convince. I accept that Tony Blair sincerely wants peace in Iraq and the broader Middle East, and that for the few months remaining in his premiership, he shouldn't just sit around. But his foreign-policy speech at the [an error occurred while processing this directive] Guildhall last week, followed by videolink testimony to the Baker-Hamilton commission in Washington that's tasked with somehow extricating the U.S. from Iraq, makes me think Blair's remarkable self-belief...
