Parties and movements are both indispensable and always to some degree uneasy with each other, for they work by opposing principles: movements aim to force or midwife something transcendent—something not-yet-existent—into existence, to convert energy into mass, say, while parties get results by converting existing mass into energy.

Dictators like Saddam survive by making sure that nobody knows much, and that’s particularly true for diplomats: The very nature of their jobs, living and working among foreigners, makes them suspect. So it’s not surprising that the news last week that two Iraqi diplomats at the United Nations had sought asylum in the United States was greeted without fanfare-and with none of the usual cliches about “an intelligence bonanza.” What could two mid-level diplomats in New York reveal about the ultra-secretive inner workings of Baghdad?...

Today’s bombing in Kabul is only the most recent in a string of attacks against the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police since the Taliban brought their quarrels with the government to the nation’s capital.
