In Turkey, a Looming Battle Over Islam |

ISTANBUL Bulent and Dogu are easygoing young Turks and unlikely
authoritarians. Bulent just returned from the hippie trail in
Southeast Asia, and Dogu's son is named Cosmos. But when the military
recently threatened to settle Turkey's disputed presidential
elections, they approved, suggesting just how hard it is to sort Turks
into familiar political categories.
"Someone needs to threaten them," Dogu said. "They've gone too far."
War Costs Money. Why Can't Politicians Say So?

Last week, President Bush and the Democratic Congress had a showdown
over Iraq war funding. Unfortunately, it was the wrong one.
Lost amid the week's political struggles was this blunt reality:
America's political leaders have been reluctant to confront the public
with the need to make financial sacrifices to pay for the conflict and
for the ongoing struggle against al-Qaeda. And that could spell
disaster later on.
The Rise of Low-Tech Terrorism

The movies were an affront to God, encouraging vice and Western-style
decadence. So in August 1978, four Shiite revolutionaries locked the
doors of the Cinema Rex in the Iranian city of Abadan and set the
theater on fire. The firefighters were late, and nearby hydrants did
not work. The victims' shrieks could be heard while firefighters and
police stood outside, watching helplessly. At least 377 people --
perhaps many more -- were burned alive.
Never heard of the Cinema Rex fire? You're not alone. But the tragedy
is more than an obscure, grisly memory from the run-up to the 1979
Iranian Revolution. It's also the second-deadliest terrorist attack in
modern history -- deadlier even than airline bombings such as Pan Am
Flight 103 -- and one that offers many lessons about the changing
threat of terrorism today.
Free Trade's Great, but Offshoring Rattles Me

By Alan S. Blinder

I'm a free trader down to my toes. Always have been. Yet lately, I'm
being treated as a heretic by many of my fellow economists. Why?
Because I have stuck my neck out and predicted that the offshoring of
service jobs from rich countries such as the United States to poor
countries such as India may pose major problems for tens of millions
of American workers over the coming decades. In fact, I think
offshoring may be the biggest political issue in economics for a
generation.
When I say this, many of my fellow free-traders react with a mixture
of disbelief, pity and hostility. Blinder, have you lost your mind?
(Answer: I think not.) Have you forgotten about the basic economic
gains from international trade? (Answer: No.) Are you advocating some
form of protectionism? (Answer: No !) Aren't you giving aid and
comfort to the enemies of free trade? (Answer: No, I'm trying to save
free trade from itself.)

Why are Democrats so 'deeply troubled' by Colombia's =C1lvaro Uribe?
Sunday, May 6, 2007; Page B06
COLOMBIAN President =C1lvaro Uribe may be the most popular democratic
leader in the world. Last week, as he visited Washington, a poll
showed his approval rating at 80.4 percent -- extraordinary for a
politician who has been in office nearly five years. Colombians can
easily explain this: Since his first election in 2002, Mr. Uribe has
rescued their country from near-failed-state status, doubling the size
of the army and extending the government's control to large areas that
for decades were ruled by guerrillas and drug traffickers. The murder
rate has dropped by nearly half and kidnappings by 75 percent. For the
first time thugs guilty of massacres and other human rights crimes are
being brought to justice, and the political system is being purged of
their allies. With more secure conditions for investment, the free-
market economy is booming.

A War The Public Will End

The gap between public opinion and Washington reality has rarely been
wider than on the issue of the Iraq war. A clear national mandate is
being blocked -- for now -- by constraints that make sense only in the
short-term calculus of politics in this capital city.
The public verdict on the war is plain. Large majorities have come to
believe that it was a mistake to go in, and equally large majorities
want to begin the process of getting out. That is what the polls say;
it is what the mail to Capitol Hill says; and it is what voters
signaled when they put the Democrats back into control of Congress in
November.

The concept of "American exceptionalism" has long been applied to the
political differences that separate the United States from the "Old
World." But America's "exceptionalism" today extends beyond the
explicitly political and into the nation's rhythms of birth and death.
Indeed, we may now rightly speak of American "demographic
exceptionalism."
Two demographic tendencies separate the United States from virtually
all other developed countries in Europe and Asia. The first is
childbearing patterns: At a time when most rich countries report
markedly low birthrates, fertility levels in the United States are
close to long-term population-replacement levels, making the United
States peculiarly fecund for a contemporary affluent democracy. The
second is immigration patterns: America's absorption of foreigners
continues apace, with high and continuing inflows of immigrants from
the Third World, but without (as yet) the symptoms of "cultural
indigestion" that have lately troubled much of the European Union.

Lack of Facilities Leaves Wounded To Seek Own Care

BAGHDAD -- Mohammed Mizher Massen was a different man on the morning
of Feb. 21. His muscles filled out his Iraqi army uniform. His posture
radiated the confidence of a soldier who had helped capture
insurgents. And his heart swelled: In a few hours, after his unit
finished its shift guarding a Baghdad construction project, he was
going to propose to his girlfriend.
Then the bomb in a cooking oil can on the roadside blew up, shredding
his left leg and marking him with a constellation of shrapnel.

Fred Thompson fervently backed the Iraq war, railed against an
expanding federal government, took stands that occasionally annoyed
his party and rarely spoke about his views on social issues during his
tenure as a senator from Tennessee or in his writings and speeches
since leaving office.
In short, the man some in the GOP are touting as a dream candidate has
often sounded like the presidential hopeful many of them seem ready to
dismiss: Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

Former Congressman Accused of Giving 'Preferential Treatment' on
Contract to Chicago Firm
By Colum Lynch
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 6, 2007; Page A08
UNITED NATIONS -- The United States and its key allies last week
fended off a campaign by developing countries to discipline UNESCO's
highest-ranking U.S. official, Peter Smith, a former Republican
congressman from Vermont. Smith resigned in March after an audit found
he granted "preferential treatment" to a Chicago-based consulting firm
that received $2.15 million in contracts -- often without competitive
bidding.
The move placed the United States -- which has long called for greater
transparency and accountability at the United Nations -- in the
awkward position of opposing an initiative to improve accountability
and fiscal integrity in the global body. Louise Oliver, the U.S.
representative to UNESCO, recently told foreign delegates it is time
to put the matter to rest and implement reforms Smith put in place
before he left the Paris-based U.N. Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization.

The Department of Homeland Security will begin using an Interpol

headquarters in Lyon, France, that would investigate any stolen
documents the screeners turn up, officials said yesterday.
DHS expects to launch a 30-day pilot of the screening system at one
U=2ES. airport by fall and, if it is successful, will expand the program
nationwide immediately thereafter, department officials said.

Their messages were the same. "Turkey is secular and will remain
secular," one of the placards read.
