As Pope Innocent X stared on, he probably did not understand what was taking place. The dream of Europe that the men in front of him were attempting to stage was not his dream, nor that of those other power-hungry leaders who once aimed to unite the continent from Paris...

After 9/11 Bush benefited from the public's willingness to suspend its skepticism and go along with his audacious vision for transforming the Middle East. Some of that trust, however, was squandered with the invasion of Iraq--and so the challenger finds the presidency within his grasp. Kerry may yet win as a result of the collapse of Bush's vision. But if he does, the scale of the challenges facing the new Commander in Chief will demand that...
