...authoritarianism. But by using its considerable capacity to decisively address the root causes of conflict, the U.S. would bolster moderate forces like Siniora and isolate governments and groups that exploit unresolved grievances to justify violence. Otherwise, existing trends will continue and the region will see further polarization, extremism and war-and perhaps the deployment of U.S. troops to additional trouble spots...
...Bush and Karl Rove managed to flummox the Democrats by conflating the war in Iraq with the war against al-Qaeda and insisting that any Democratic reservations about Iraq were a sign of weakness. This was infuriating. It was Bush's disastrous decision to go to war-and worse, to go to war with insufficient resources-that transformed Iraq into a terrorist Valhalla. It is Bush's feckless prosecution of the war that has created the current morass, in which a U.S. military withdrawal could lead to a regional conflagration. Rove may avert another electoral embarrassment this November with...

These kinds of metaphors aren't usually fair. Gerald Ford was a talented athlete who was a star football player at the University of Michigan and coached at Yale.

To some, Hiroshima's adoption of peace as its mantra is seen as an example of the nation's unwillingness to come to grips with its history. Critics say it has allowed the aggressor in World War II to pose as the victim. That is less a problem with the U.S. than it is with Japan's neighbors, particularly China and South Korea. Relations with both are at a perilously low point and could conceivably get worse; some Japanese officials have said that...
