Meat-eating promotes the slaughter of animals and encourages male dominance, according to a feminist author and vegetarian advocate who spoke in Quincy House last night...
...until we know better. We certainly know what it feels like to watch them explode: this week two years ago we lost for good the sunny sense that our world was safe, that the oceans would protect us, that there were rules even among the hateful against mass slaughter of the innocent. Now a different set of illusions flakes--off about the costs of winning wars and making peace. By the time President Bush asks Congress for more money and the U.N. for more of everything--more peacekeepers and mine clearers and border guards--any illusion that America could spray...
...sick of calls for the coalition forces to leave Iraq. The violence being perpetrated there is committed by gangs, some motivated by politics, others by criminal instincts; some are supporters of Saddam Hussein, others his most ardent opponents.

The Finns are not alone in their opposition to nuclear...
...militants who share al-Qaeda's ideology, the target of the bombing was a natural one. For years, jihadists have reviled the U.N. as an arm of world infidelity. They have depicted the organization as a tool America relied on to allow the slaughter of Muslims in Bosnia and to kill innocent Iraqis through the sanctions that were Saddam's punishment for noncompliance with U.N. resolutions. Islamist militants had already tried once to bomb U.N. headquarters. That 1993 effort grew from the same jihadist circle that provided the manpower for the first World Trade Center attack, which killed...
