...major problem is habitat erosion. In Vietnam, for example, which is home to four of the 25 most endangered species, habitat loss as a result of development and persistent hunting for food, medicine and animal skins has reduced the populations of species like the golden-headed langur from thousands of animals in the middle of last century to only 65 today. "The more we look at it, the worse the picture seems to get," says Ben Rawson, a Hanoi-based primatologist with Conservation International (CI), another sponsor of the recent report. Conducting primate surveys in the region, he says...
...admirable, they are not a lasting solution. The average American household would have to buy $276,000 a year in carbon credits to counteract their carbon emissions, a price tag few Americans would be able to afford. Moreover, even if every American household could afford carbon credits, the result would be that Third World countries would bear the burden of our excessive lifestyles. While carbon credits are a viable short-term option for industry and an important step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the corporate sector, they are not practical for American families...

The Turkish army maintains at least four bases inside northern Iraq as a result of an agreement with Saddam Hussein after the American no-flight zone created a power vacuum in the region during the 1990s. In the town of Barmani, the Turks have a base with 35 tanks, and are repairing a disused air strip and building up troop levels, according to Iraqi Kurdish intelligence officers. But this is no invasion: The Turks supply...
This delicate dance is a result of Musharraf's uniquely powerful hold over the White House. The Bush Administration continues to insist it wants Musharraf to stay on the path to democracy, relinquish his position as head of the military as he promised and hold elections before January 15. But it is still unclear what happens if Musharraf doesn't do any of these things. Bush's pro-democracy goals for the country seem as much in conflict as ever with the U.S.'s other goal - to stamp out the Taliban in Afghanistan and dismantle terrorist networks operating inside Pakistan...
