27425 [lbo-talk] French reports on Palestine Hotel attack -- rank: 1000
Steven wrote: >Hotel hit 'deliberate': French TV Well, you know, they're *French*. I was on the treadmill at the gym this morning watching a muted CNN.

My Oscar "Backlash": "Stupid White Men" Back At #1, "Bowling" Breaks New Records April 7, 2003 Dear friends, It appears that the Bush administration will have succeeded in colonizing Iraq sometime in the next few days. This is a blunder of such magnitude -- and we will pay for it for years to come. It was not worth the life of one single American kid in uniform, let alone the thousands of Iraqis who have died, and my condolences and prayers go out to all of them. So ...

Financial Times - April 8, 2003 WAR IN IRAQ AFTER THE CONFLICT: Washington victory will be Pyrrhic, Syrian professor argues By Kim Ghattas The US will win the war in Iraq but in terms of its consequences for the Arab world it may have already lost the peace, argues Sadeq el Azm, a well-known Syrian intellectual.
