CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy -- Pope Benedict XVI prayed for the "victory of peace" in the Middle East Tuesday while his special envoy led faithful in prayers in Lebanon, where a U.N.-brokered cease-fire appeared to be holding. The pontiff also lamented that humanity was anxious about a world torn by violence and he denounced the worsening of ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka and the daily bloodshed in Iraq.
The transition plans should set up different scenarios that could include an increase in violence and how the international community, not the U.S., should respond to that. - Is there any contradiction between supporting U.S. military intervention to stop the Rwandan genocide and opposing U.S. military intervention to prevent ethnic cleansing in Iraq? "There is a little bit of a conflict there, but in general, the use of force by anybody must be a last resort and there is enough of a track record of U.S. military force not to trust it in virtually any situation." -

Having sketched a portrait of the complex and conflicted historical forces influencing Afghan politics, proceeds to examine the current regime in Afghanistan, led by Hamid Karzai, and explains the varied reasons for many Afghans' opposition to it, particularly the government's failure to address the issue of women's rights in contemporary Afghan society.

As Lewis Lapham points out in an essay in the April Harper's, we are seeing "the systematic substitution of ideological certainty for reasonable doubt across the entire spectrum of issues bearing on the public health and welfare. ... The disdain for disloyal or unpatriotic fact defines the Bush Administration's approach not only to questions likely to embarrass the oil, weapons and insurance industries but also to those that might interfere with its fanciful conceptions of war and money." Lapham cites the report by the Union of Concerned Scientists, "Scientific Integrity in Policymaking," a depressing collection of instances in which the administration has either censored or ignored scientific fact. Those who have known [George W. Bush] for a long time know he is capable of leaving the ...

The Move to Expand Protected Person Status Similar to the current environments in Iraq, Sudan, and other contemporary conflicts,22 the dissolution of the nation-state of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s quickly led to a brutal inter-ethnic and religious conflict.23 As Yugoslavia disintegrated, ethnic Serbians, in a calculated plan to create a Greater Serbia, committed multiple inhumane acts including rape, kidnapping, and murder against the non-Serbian population.24 Despite a common nationality between many of the aggressors25 and the targeted victims, the ethnic and religious affiliation of the Serbian population trumped their national identity as prior citizens of Yugoslavia or as current nationals of Bosnia and Herzegovina.26 In addition, numerous parties in the conflict were from neigh...
