Sokolov is a rarity even among big-paper critics: though he was only officially the Journal's restaurant critic since the fall of 2005, he has written about food for decades, and brought a wealth of cumulative knowledge to the baffling array of weird foods, concepts and trends that a 21st century eater has to face. Critics, even at potent establishments like the New York Times, tend to be younger, and are often former reporters or freelancers who don't have much of a food background.

Cobbling together a new ruling coalition is unlikely to see any decisive resolution of those deep-seated conflicts. They could well remain unresolved as the U.S. forces begin to go home. Worse still, if disputes over the election are taken to the streets, the security situation could plummet precipitously...
