...World Cup. Public-relations campaigns alone, however, cannot explain the flag mania that has gripped the country. That Germans seem to have discovered their flag and its stylish possibilities does not give cause for concern to our immediate neighbors, who were invaded during the course of a more toxic burst of nationalism.

France, Sweden, Finland and the U.S. have built or are planning long-term storage vaults deep underground; former Prime Minister Bob Hawke has said that Australia, with "the safest geological...
...just his insistence on remaining on the front lines of the battle that set him apart from his al-Qaeda elders. As the insurgency unfolded, al-Zarqawi articulated and then acted upon an ideology more forbidding and toxic than even bin Laden may have imagined.
