...Iraq war, it was France and Germany (plus Belgium and Luxembourg) against most of the rest who refused to be drawn into the anti-American orbit organized by the two Continental powers. Now, the lineup is not identical, but similar. As France and Germany cracked their whip, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Spain refused to cower, voting against the suspension of the stability pact. Britain is keeping quiet, presumably enjoying a battle of sovereignties in which London, for once, is not being fingered as the foe of ever-closer union.

Many of the 24 Iraqis appointed to the IGC by Bremer would not survive an election process - the CIA analysis reportedly notes that the IGC has failed to win popular support. And respected scholars of political transitions, such...
...clowning, but it’s clear that his comedic range is inversely related to his girth. Fortunately, the producers of School of Rock have forged an ideal vehicle for Black’s brand of mischief, and with a sturdy cast and script behind him, he manages to whip up some of the biggest laughs of the year. Black plays Dewey Finn, a guitarist thrown out of his band, rendering him even less capable of paying the rent that he owes his substitute teacher roommate. Posing as his roommate, he assumes the responsibility of educating a classroom of unusually...
