Disney has even begun adults-only trips. No wonder. When we arrived in Europe and met 20 other family travelers, I did have a moment of terror imagining being trapped with this many children on a bus.

As the junior passengers rolled their eyes at us, we adults were busy on the bus enjoying sing-alongs of Disney tunes. It was our inner children we were really taking on vacation--the kids were simply along for the ride...

As Bruce Riedel, who ran Obama's initial Afghanistan and Pakistan review, puts it, "He's going after the organization that attacked the U.S. on 9/11 and before and since rather than pursuing a vague and murky war on terrorism everywhere." Team Obama has junked the phrase war on terror, not to mention Islamofascism. And the World...

"Naturally our measures will be hard and serious," Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaie, chief of staff to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told the semiofficial Fars news agency on Tuesday, "if we find out [the sailors] had evil intentions."
