...does the U.S. expect the Wazir to have a change of heart and kick al-Qaeda warriors out of their impoverished villages, because the foreigners bring in money. One tribal official in Jamrud told TIME he knew of an al-Qaeda fighter living in the hills of Waziristan who was paying $750 a month for a simple, mud-walled house that ordinarily rented for less than $80. Mohammed and his tribesmen also earn cash selling supplies to other Muslim militants?Arabs, Chechens and Uzbeks, according to the official?and by providing al-Qaeda with fresh recruits and guides to assist...
...rewarded with Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. The goddesses neglect to inform Paris that Helen is married, and Agamemnon, brother of Helen's husband and king of the Greeks, sends 1,000 ships to Troy to get her back. Paris--a lover not a fighter--asks his noble brother Hector to defend him and the rest of Troy while the Greeks rally behind the demigod Achilles, the world's greatest warrior...
...Baba Lukman personifies the south's rage against Bangkok. A slightly built man in his 50s, he is a self-confessed separatist fighter who leads a cell of militants aligned to a group calling itself New P.U.L.O.

But Gousse has already hinted he'll pardon Tatoune, and before Chamblain ceremoniously walked into a jail cell last month he was hailed by Latortue as a "freedom fighter" and served briefly as a judge in the port city of Gonaives, where Raboteau is located. According to Pierre Esperance, director of the National Coalition for Haitian Rights in Port-au-Prince, it's imperative that retrials like Chamblain's don't become "a comedy of justice to whitewash crimes."

...Restiveness among the masses is driving voters to embrace opposition parties. The Islam-based Prosperous Justice Party, or PKS, has become popular with young educated urbanites by dropping its demands for Islamic law and painting itself as a corruption fighter. And Golkar's Wiranto is gaining by tapping into lingering nostalgia for the high-growth days of Suharto. During the party's political convention, Wiranto emphasized his ties to the strongman with a black-and-white video that juxtaposed his face and the dictator's. The biggest threat to Megawati, however, is Yudhoyono. The 54-year-old four-star general...
