BRING NEW YORK TO NAJAF: In reference to Naomi Klein's odd plea to peace protesters to 'Bring Najaf to New York', her Nation colleague Marc Cooper asks 'Should they also endorse Sharia while they’re at it?' Also, sensibly, Cooper calls for 'Bringing New York to Najaf', which to me sounds like a better proposal.

Incidentally, Cooper's LA Weekly column musing about the conversation between Clinton and Kerry is the finest piece of political humour writing I've read in weeks. (Example: 'I can imagine Clinton’s first question: “Hi, John, say, is Teresa there with you? What’s she wearing?'")
