The Bush administration wrongly insists America's post-September 11, 2001 conflict with international terrorism is indistinguishable from World War II. Premised on that false analogy, President Bush has claimed authority as commander in chief to violate the spirit if not the letter of the Constitution in detaining individuals, gathering foreign intelligence, frustrating congressional oversight, and creating military tribunals.

HAVANA MARKING'S documentary promises to re-invigorate two aspects of our world that most of us have grown weary of: the endless, bad-news slog of the military involvement in Afghanistan; and the interminable, long-past-fresh televised singing competition, be it American Idol or its myriad imitators. Marking captures plenty of ordinary life in Afghanistan, from relatively modern city streets to miles of wrecked infrastructure and desperately poor rural communities. Throughout, she shows how the program inspires a variety of positive developments: the man who explains how he maintained an underground TV-repair business during Taliban rule; the teen-age girl who dubs herself an engineer after successfully rigging a TV antenna; and villages and families who come tog...

In the throes of the Cold War-still hot in Vietnam-[Ronald Reagan] forthrightly said liberals refused to acknowledge that the choice was not between "peace and war, only between fight and surrender." In words that would have come in pretty handy in Spain just a few months ago, he said liberals tell us "if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us." all who disagree with the "peace" crowd, he said, "are indicted...
