...problems but so have other nations in the world and we the citizens continue our life here with respect and dignity. This country is beautiful - the problem lies with the installed regimes and landed aristocracy, all kept in power by Western interests. Our democrats and demagogues backed by the West effect little. All the while, magazines like this refuse to address the larger history at play that has brought us to this mess. It seems the less we talk about the legacy of the Cold War, the U.S. thirst for oil and the specious war on terror, the better. Danish...
...didn't show their Aussie pride on Australia Day. As to the suggestion that there is something wrong with adorning the Aussie flag's image on clothing, accessories and faces, look around: national pride abounds in cities and towns throughout the U.S., the U.K. and elsewhere in the West.

Or it could be a ploy by hard-liners in Tehran, who oppose détente with the West, to get the three Iranians released. In that case, the U.S. should stand pat. So which way to jump? The U.S. has never been good at making sense of Tehran's knotty power structure, and the distrust is mutual: many in Iran suspect that the U.S. is looking for an excuse...
...sumness - for example, strengthening commerce between Israel and the Palestinian territories. Other times it will mean highlighting a non-zero-sum dynamic that already exists - emphasizing, for example, that continued strife between Israelis and Palestinians will be lose-lose (as would escalated tensions between the "Muslim world" and the "West" more broadly). Enduring peace would...
