The bombastic Protestant evangelist Ian Paisley, long known as "Dr. No" for his refusal to compromise with the Roman Catholic minority, formed an administration with Sinn Fein deputy leader Martin McGuinness, a veteran commander in the outlawed Irish Republican Army, which long dreamed of wiping Northern Ireland from the map.
Paisley's conversion to compromise became possible because the IRA finally convinced him it would no longer try to oust Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom by force. The IRA renounced violence and disarmed in 2005, has not been implicated in significant violence since, and this year agreed with its Sinn Fein allies to accept the authority of the Northern Ireland police.
I lost count of how many times I was told he would never accept sharing power," [Tony Blai...

Intuition -- that holistic "hunch" or "gut feeling" -- is a true psychological phenomenon that no longer should be consigned to the fringes of science, British researchers are reporting.
Intuition has historically been "pooh-poohed" by psychologists who lumped it in the realms of astrology and mental telepathy, [Gerard Hodgkinson] says. But, he says a number of developments have occurred coincidentally in different areas of psychology "that when you stand back and bring them all together, everything just points to the fact that intuition is a concept that has come of its time.
He says new devices that monitor blood flow to different brain regions while people process information and perform tasks suggest a dual process is at work -- "analysis and intuition, experientiality and rational...

This is the best group of yearlings we've had in a long time," [Sandy Lepard] said. "The breeders have really stepped it up this year. They've travelled to Ontario, Kentucky and other major sales and upgraded the quality of their mares. We've got some leading sires such as Where's the Ring and Candy Ride, along with some excellent Manitoba sires whose yearlings are eligible for the lucrative Manitoba Sires Stakes programs.
Applicant was listed in the sales catalogue as Hip No. 21, a dark bay or brown gelding by Where's The Ring-Rondinella by War Deputy. The sire was hot and the dam hailed from one of Manitoba's top-producing female families with nine stakes horses. Consigned by Lorna Short, Applicant should have brought more than $800, especially with a pedigree that included not onl...

You might think so, to judge by the fuss being made about what could be gained if only America extended a hand of friendship to Iran and Syria. Doing this would certainly be a climbdown for George W. Bush. This president memorably consigned Iran (with Iraq and North Korea) to an axis of evil in January 2002. Syria was added later.
Iran's aims seem to include building a nuclear weapon, thwarting America in Iraq, destroying Israel and spreading the ideas of its 1979 revolution, which is now, after the rout of Iran's reformists, enjoying a second wind.
The aims of Syria's President Bashar Assad are to survive as dictator, restore his control over Lebanon, escape investigation of Syria's part in the murder of that country's former prime minister and block progress towards a deal between Isr...

Without America invading and occupying Iran -- unthinkable after Iraq -- such a strike would at best delay rather than end Iran's nuclear ambitions. It might very well rally support behind a regime that is at present not conspicuously popular at home, emboldening it to retaliate inside Iraq, against Israel and perhaps against the United States itself.
For a start, there is a danger that Iran's nuclear efforts will provoke a preemptive strike by Israel, which is already a nuclear power, albeit an undeclared one. For Israelis, whose country Ahmadinejad says he wants to wipe off the map, it is not all that reassuring to hear that Iran can probably be deterred.
Every effort should be made to stop an Iranian bomb. But there is a better way than an armed strike. In 2002 [George Bush] consigne...
