...Most of last weekend's demonstrators were from Thaksin's fan base, which draws largely from the rural poor. Many expressed anger at a tribunal, handpicked by the junta, which had dissolved Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party for committing electoral fraud in last year's polls. In their defense, the ruling generals have promised to hold elections by the end of this year, and they point out that their putsch was met with almost no public outcry. That's true: Thaksin's popularity had nosedived by the end of his tenure, in part because of his autocratic style...
...Front-runner Leterme, 46, has sparked anger by saying that the Belgian nation is an "accident of history" with "no intrinsic value", and accusing Francophones of "lacking the mental capacity to learn Dutch."

...Before you talk about amnesty, it makes sense to address the anger that many citizens feel. Across the U.S., Americans feel squeezed and threatened by the newcomers.

Luckily, Faust has a solid model to build on with the nascent Harvard Stem Cell institute and the recent creation of the first inter-faculty department.Faust must also deal with a recalcitrant and old-fashioned Faculty of Arts and Sciences. To say that the Faculty is currently in a difficult...
...Palestinians, the impact of 1967 was different and profound. It took the war to define a Palestinian identity. A people torn away from the Jordanians and Egyptians, under whose suzerainty they had been living, the Palestinians forged nationalism out of anger and searing loss. And gradually the vocabulary of the Palestinians' struggle changed. Today Palestinians speak less of a battle against the Israelis for land and rights than of something vaguer and more dangerous, framed in the apocalyptic terms of a holy war. The 1967 conflict, says Michael Oren of the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, the author of a book...
