...would give self-deception one more shot, I tried to convince myself that dbs isn't really brain surgery. They don't crack open your skull; they just drill a couple of small holes to put the wires through. Tiny holes. Itsy-bitsy holes. Teensy-weensy little holes. The propaganda they give you when you sign up for the operation describes the holes as "dime-sized." That took me aback. The dime, there's no denying, is a seriously undersized coin. But frankly, I wasn't thinking coins at all. I was thinking grains of sand. A dime is huge...

Ask any South African. We heard just the same tales regarding the terrorists and had all the same propaganda assault our ears, plus harsh laws to assure our safety. The result? The so-called terrorists are now the benign rulers and are making a success of the country and race relations. William Gould Oudtshoorn, South Africa Crossing out al-Zarqawi's face in blood red sent a strong message...
Critics fault Karzai and the 26,000 allied troops in Afghanistan for failing to strengthen institutions like the police. In Kandahar, Asadullah Khalid, the governor, is desperate to counter Taliban propaganda with a more robust police force. He estimates that he has only 40 officers for every 100,000 citizens.
