...powerful rhetoric. Fortunately, we have Ghosh to describe the situation in Baghdad. Otherwise we would have to rely on the ever optimistic, honeyed official government reports, which would have us believe Iraq will soon be free of anarchy, death and destruction - a claim that has been made since that mission accomplished banner was displayed behind President Bush in the halcyon days of May 2003. Philip A. Roe Stamford Bridge, England Ghosh's story made me believe there are only two ways to deal with the mess in Iraq. One is withdrawal of all the troops and letting the Iraqis sort...

Suffer an ignominious defeat, and transfer to Computer Science. On a more physical plane, the Math department occupies some prime real estate. Its lounge opens onto a balcony above the science center’s front...
...soldiers from the Tenth Mountain 2-4 Infantry, Charlie Company 1-4 Infantry Regiment and Romanian troops from Task Force Calugareni, which took control of Zabul on 31 July when the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) took command of southern Afghanistan from the U.S. The mission of the troops at the base is to provide security to the district. Until a few weeks ago that meant daily patrols, visiting villages, checking up on reports of Taliban activity, and generally making their presence known.
