...that credibility was already taking a beating. Every time Bush tried to regain his footing, he tripped over more bad news and more second guesses, including those from his own team. The military and civilian death toll in Iraq continued to climb, so that the recently optimistic Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi sounded darker about the prospects for stability any time soon. British hostage Kenneth Bigley was beheaded. It emerged that U.S. forces had found floor plans of schools in six American states on a computer disc in Iraq, which launched a round of newscasters interviewing school superintendents from Florida...
...Kremlin says it has launched a massive manhunt for Basayev, the Chechen guerrilla leader who has orchestrated a grisly terror campaign that includes, among other atrocities, hijackings, suicide bombings, the 2002 Moscow theater siege and the seizure last month of a school in Beslan, where the final death toll is expected to reach 500. But here in Dyshne-Vedeno, where the Russians have few friends and a senior army officer describes his troops' main role as "protecting themselves," there's little sign that the search is on.

Week after week, car bombings, improvised explosives and shootings take a steady toll of Iraqi National Guard and U.S. personnel...
...human poll plague that befell Penn last season has already taken its toll on the Crimson.

There are such things as just wars or wars that somehow have a net benefit to the world. That is beyond a doubt. The problem is that the cavalier attitudes of the current U.S. administration to the planning, costs and human toll of this conflict may be indicative of an elite forming which has no real appreciation of what a war is. Not giving the educated elite at this school a chance to see war for what it is, is to bury the nation’s head in the sand. If we really want to make this place...
