...Viewpoint "Why Iraq Has Made??Us Less Safe ..." Daniel Benjamin pinned the cause of the London bombings on the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq [July 18]. His thesis, however, doesn't explain the motives behind the 9/11 attacks or the 2002 Bali bombing. The U.S. hadn't set foot in Iraq when those acts took place. The alarmists, especially Benjamin, need to recognize that success in Iraq will make us safer in the long run. Democracies don't export terrorism...
...past elections, caught in near deadlocks, "arrangements" sometimes had to be made???for instance a "ticket" pairing a papal candidate with a Secretary of State, the virtual Prime Minister of the Vatican. According to an informed reconstruction of the 1958 conclave, just such a gentlemen's agreement was worked out.

Replied Roncalli: "Eminences, one could not fail to take...
...thoughtful respect for reality is the reason why the film, which opens in 200 theaters on April 7, qualifies as the latest in a long line of pictures they said could never be made???or at least made correctly?but which somehow came out all right in the end.

It is emphatically not The Front Page; there is no shouting about stopping the presses, no pulling phones out of walls. The word scoop is not used once...
...tapes from the Secret Service on July 18, had testified that no one had withdrawn it until Sept. 28, the day before Miss Woods began transcribing it at Camp David. He first took physical possession of the tape on Nov. 13 when he had a court-ordered copy made???at a time when the Uher recorder was incapable of recording. Buzhardt is not known to have had access to the tape until mid-November when he says he first learned that it contained...
...duty, is equally untenable. It is one thing to sympathize with him or to hold that others are culpable as well; it is quite another to deny the difference between killing an armed guerrilla and mowing down old men, women and children. Even amid horror, distinctions must be made???that is the essence of law, morals and therefore survival. Not to make them is a form of moral blindness. That blindness and the attendant glorification of Lieut. Calley may well be the ultimate degradation of the U.S. by the Viet...
