...Muslims - and they are feared for their ruthlessness. The leader of this Wahhabi Jamaat is Jamal, a former welder in his forties. His past alcoholism shows on his ravaged face. The apartment is hot and muggy, the plastic sheets that serve as windows rustle in the wind and a sour smell drifts from the toilet. Most of Grozny has electricity these days, but four years after Russian air strikes practically razed the city there is still no running water. The atmosphere is sour, too. Gathered in the apartment are members of the two main anti-Russian factions: the Wahhabis...
...speaking style, often seems like a guy trying to avoid a straight answer. Sensing that vulnerability, Republicans have run the same playbook they ran against Al Gore: portraying Kerry's personality deficiencies as deficiencies of character. As a result, while Kerry leads Bush on most domestic issues, voters turn sour when asked about Kerry the man. In last week's TIME poll, Kerry's biggest deficit versus Bush was in "sticking to his positions." Only 37% of registered voters in the survey said Kerry does that, compared with 84% for Bush...

They knew he was more partisan by far than his father, that he loved to shock people--an amiable guy who still liked to pick a fight. But Republicans of all stripes wanted a restoration so badly, the moderates persuaded themselves...
...Britannia once ruled (dude); it amassed the largest empire in world history. Now it runs alongside the American limo, as its Labour government does our military and political bidding. Whether from moral outrage or sour grapes, British playwrights have made attacking the Bush-U.S. worldview, and the Blair-U.K. subsidiary role in it, a top priority. ?Guantanamo,? the documentary play about British citizens detained at the U.S. base in Cuba for years without being charged, has transferred from a successful run in London to New York?s off-Broadway. In a kind of Equity trade, the West...
