Johns emerged as an articulate and effective counter to the increasingly shrill Cindy Sheehan last month, when the nation’s eyes...

Elsewhere, entire nations selected their own leaders for the first time. In Iraq, where political liberty remains under threat, many died exercising their right to vote while eight million succeeded in spite of the danger posed by terrorists and the disapproval of Western elites. But in the United...
