...frequently use to illustrate their points about melting ice caps, advancing deserts and rising sea levels. They have a particular thing for discouraging compare-and- contrast shots of sights like Iraqi wetlands before and after being drained by Saddam Hussein, the disappearance of the once permanent snow on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and, worst of all, the sinister and apparently unstoppable spread of Las Vegas. So it's true: Céline Dion may be as much of a threat to the planet as global warming...

Last week it effectively failed the test...
European leaders expecting a humbled Bush at the NATO summit in Latvia instead got a stout speech in which he rearticulated his foreign policy. "We must advance freedom," he said, "as the great alternative to tyranny and terror." When kids in Indonesia asked his hobby, he replied, "Baseball--sports" and told them to go easy on TV. He got his most enthusiastic reception in Vietnam, as curious onlookers lined the roads and waved at his passing motorcade. There was much the country and the visiting dignitary had in common. Neither has much appetite for looking back at the difficulties...
