It's a Wrap

In Kramer vs. Kramer, Michael Richards loses. Also: Neocons gone wrong. Texan talk. Feeling new heat. Plus much more.

In fact, Gowon is, and was, quite a decent man. As the Nigerian head of state at the end of the civil war in January 1970, he announced a policy of "no victors, no vanquished," and welcomed the Ibos back to Nigeria. Mr. Orlet's characterization of genocidal dictator must have been lifted from an old wartime diatribe by a Biafran PR man. br> -- John Corry /p>

Sadly, your article "What the Neocons Got Wrong" sings like the idealess criticism of the modern day Defeatocratic party. Do you dispute the idea that the spead of Democracy in regions that have known nothing but brutal dictatorship rule for the last thousand years will lead to a better world? Or is it impatience and pessimism that forms your opinion?
