...Iraqis were killed. Prompted by U.S. commanders, the Muslim clerics of Fallujah used Friday prayers to denounce the desecration of the corpses, but they remained silent on the attacks themselves. Even more worrying, perhaps, was the response of the local Iraqi constabulary, to whom the U.S. is hoping to transfer responsibility for security in much of Iraq. They stayed away from the Wednesday's grotesquerie, with one explaining the decision thus: "Why should we interfere? It's none of our business...
...problem of handling Fallujah quickly mushrooms into a larger political dilemma at the heart of the U.S. effort to stabilize Iraq and transfer power to a representative government. British officials have publicly stated what has become conventional wisdom among Coalition officials in Baghdad - that defeating the insurgency requires convincing the Sunni Arabs of their place in the sun under a post-Saddam order.

Kimmitt and other U.S. officials in Iraq increasingly believe Islamic radicals have taken charge of orchestrating the violence as Saddam Hussein loyalists fade from the scene. Their intent is to push...
Last night the Black Students Association, Concilio Latino and the Harvard Republican Club sponsored a debate about school choice. Whether it involves interdistrict transfer, vouchers or charter schools, “school choice” is increasingly popular with minority parents otherwise unable to escape decrepit government schools in Cleveland, Detroit and other large cities. While the 14 years since Milwaukee first attempted a voucher system have seen such milestones as the Supreme Court’s 2002 ruling in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, which stated that vouchers could be used at religious schools, and this year?...
