Shattered (at time.com): A powerful photo essay by James Nachtwey. Link.

A UK perspective associates this week's attack with a failure of American foreign policy.

The point was made another way yesterday by Martin Shaw, professor of international relations and politics at Sussex University. "It may be a little too simple to say that America is paying the price for Ariel Sharon, and for Bush's willingness to see the last vestiges of the peace process disappear in the blood of both Palestinians and Israelis," he said. "But the longer failure of American policy in the Middle East cannot be taken out of the equation, and almost everyone except the Israeli and American political classes knows that this is the case."

The almost nonchalant arrogance of the world's only superpower and its lack of engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict fed opposition to the "Great Satan", not only among the diaspora of veterans who fought (with the help of CIA money and weapons) against Soviet forces in Afghanistan through the 1980s.

I became a hopeless Dr Pepper junkie while growing up in West Texas, where my grandfather A.K. Lebkowsky, a beer wholesaler by trade, bottled Dr Pepper during prohibition. When somebody mentioned the secret formula for DP my father told how A.K.'s partner Harry Stalcup mixed up his own DP syrup when they ran short one time. He could only remember two ingredients, prune juice and peach juice. This article in the Austin Chronicle gives the history of the drink, which has become an international favorite. What they left out his the link for ordering online from Old Doc's Soda Shop in Dublin, Texas, where they still brew DP with actual sugar, not corn (ugh) syrup. Link
