...Muslim moderates. Yudhoyono has enlisted not just prominent clerics but militants themselves to combat extremist ideas; to cite one example, contrite former terrorists appear on television and admit how they shed Indonesian blood.

In Italy, vulgar expressions are used rather frequently on national TV (not just cable). Even before this week's ruling, comedian and activist Beppe Grillo had declared Sept. 8 "Vaffanculo Day" to organize a protest against the sclerotic political establishment. Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi lets vulgar expressions slip out in public about twice a year. Still, with...
