WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2006 – Marine Lance Cpl. James Gentile’s path in life was forcibly altered when he was shot in the face while on patrol with Gulf Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines in Ramadi, Iraq. That was in April 2004, just a few days after his 21st birthday. His path is about to change again, thanks to the community of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., and the California-based nonprofit organization, Homefront America. The two entities are planning a fundraiser to benefit Gentile. Homefront America works to honor servicemembers by supporting their families while they’re deployed, according to the organization’s Web...

....Democrats might have seen this as a signal not to push too hard on the war lest they risk uniting a fractured Republican Party. But they didn't heed it. By midweek Rep. John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat, introduced a resolution aimed at pushing political moderates to oppose the war in Iraq. His plan called for "redeploying" U.S. troops out of Iraq over the next six months, leaving a "rapid reaction force" in the region and then pursuing U.S. goals through "diplomatic" means. It was a crafted political proposal that was meant to be an alternative to "staying the course" while...

Europe unites in hatred of French By Henry Samuel in Paris (Filed: 17/05/2005) Language, history, cooking and support for rival football teams still divide Europe. But when everything else fails, one glue binds the continent together: hatred of the French. Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are. But now after the publication of a survey of their neighbours' opinions of them at least they no longer have any excuse for not knowing how unpopular they are. Why the French are the worst company on the planet, a wry take on France by two of its...

Africa unites to condemn Mugabe's regime By Christopher Munnion in Johannesburg (Filed: 05/07/2004) African nations combined for the first time yesterday to condemn the Zimbabwe government for its "flagrant human rights abuses", signalling a shift in their attitude towards President Robert Mugabe's increasingly repressive regime.

African...
