The 2020 Democratic Party candidate for president said he was approached by a former fellow Stanford University football player at a recent Iowa campaign rally who asked him to “punch Donald Trump in the face.” He replied by telling the burly man, “Dude, that’s a felony, man.” Booker, speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, used the anecdote to illustrate how civility can defeat Trump in 2020, although he peppered in several insults about the 73-year-old president’s unhealthy weight, strength and stamina....

Indeed, if any debate provides a window on the complexity of trying to win compromise in Iraq, it’s the ongoing discussion over the draft oil and gas law. The legislation, due to be debated in the coming days after months of painful drafting by Iraq’s Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish political factions—and endless prodding by U.S. diplomats—outlines how to exploit the country’s massive oil and gas reserves. But even Ali Baban, the minister of planning for the Iraqi government and one of they key architects of the bill, says he wouldn’t give it better than a 50-50 chance of winning parliamentary approval....
