It seems the whole world is gainst American military action against Iraq. But last week thousands of people in the Ivory Coast rallied for the US to intervene in their civil war, much to the chagrin of the "mother nation" of France. Also, another "new de Tocqueville": Alvaro Vargas Llosa was once a member of a student group that sported "Che Guevara berets and demonstrated against Reagan," but has since forsworn those views. Facing prosecution at home for his criticism of Peruvian president Alejandro Toledo, Llosa shares his thoughts on America as part of the modern day Tocqueville series. And: WTC site visonary Rafael Vinoly.
