There were certainly more diplomatic ways to express how he felt, but for my part, all I have to say is kudos to Muntadar al-Zaidi. When he took aim that day he spoke for more people than he might have imagined.
Medvedev tells Bush Russia aims to force Georgia to accept peace.
Dear President Medvedev,
a forced peace is an eyewash, and no peace at all, and the notions of "force" and "peace" are inimical to each other -- rather like stabbing someone in the back to get them to say they love you.
This week U.S. children had toys, candy and all the trimmings that traditionally go with Christmas. But it was a safe bet that no toy on Christmas Day aroused more ecstasy than a pair of new shoes given to a little boy in the U.S. zone of far-off Vienna. The little boy was an orphan. Like most of the children he knew, he had cause to realize that mere warmth, mere survival, are incomparably precious.
The new shoes were issued to him, shortly before Christmas, by the American Red Cross. They and their radiant owner embodied, this year, the meaning of Christmas.
If that meaning remains alive in hearts enough, through days enough to come, it is even conceivable that by next Christmas (if he survives this winter), this child and millions like him will have covering, as well, for the heads which must try to restore sanity to the world; the hands with which that world must be rebuilt; the knees on which to render gratitude to God.
I think there are few photos that have affected me so profoundly.Neighborhood
