...wonder this scenario is growing in popularity as the deadline for war approaches. If Saddam were to accept exile, Iraq would be spared the devastation of war and America the risks and blame for it. Saudi Arabia would show the U.S., still aggrieved by the fact that most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi, how helpful it can be and would demonstrate to its own people its devotion to protecting a fellow Arab state from war.

...proof of the rebels' growing strength was found in the wreckage of the fire fight. Other violence last week showed a weakening of President Hamid Karzai's central government. A bomb attack on a bus in southern Afghanistan killed at least 18 civilians.

Lending institutions are trying to adopt sophisticated credit-analysis techniques to apply to private borrowers, but even if they were world-class financiers, they would have a hard time offering credit to some of China's seat-of-the-pants entrepreneurs. For one thing, the government caps the annual interest rate banks can charge at 6.6%, an amount that barely compensates them for their risk. It also bars them from accepting things like sales contracts or inventory as collateral?even though small companies usually lack hard assets like land...
...turns out that Dartmouth coach Judy Oberting has no one to blame but herself for Ferguson’s bulletin-board material from three years...
