TIME: What were your first thoughts after hearing the news on Sept. 11? BLAIR: Shock and outrage and anger, really. I never had any doubt for an instant what the right thing was to do, what we had to do and get others to do. When 4,000 people are murdered in New York in the middle of the day, I honestly don't understand the argument of people who say we shouldn't have done anything about...
...neither the Saudi intifada promotion nor Egypt's choice of pop star had head office approval, and the Abdel Rahim campaign was quickly dropped following protests by the American Jewish Committee.

The image of two grown men throwing punches on the sidelines of their children's little league event seems ridiculous - but the notion of a parent actually dying...
...this last step that has captured our imagination during the Junta trial. How many of us have choked back irrational anger, only to ruefully shake our heads later over what might have become something far worse? The news networks understand the tragic appeal of this story: These guys represent the worst in every overeager fan, every rabidly proud parent. No one wants to believe we could ever find ourselves in Junta's place - but it's the infinitesimal fear that it could happen to us that keeps us glued to our television sets...
