Even if the war in Iraq continues to simmer down or the economy firms, Republicans aren't likely to get much credit...
Gathered around the table at a restaurant in Chengdu on a recent evening, Tan, a.k.a. Withered Rose, and seven other members of the NCPH workshop don't look as though they could bring the U.S. economy to a halt.

His mother left Kerik in the care of a new boyfriend's mother until his father turned up after a few months and rescued him. He never saw his mother again. After high school, Kerik joined...
Forget a hero's welcome. After being held hostage by Kurdish guerrillas for two weeks and released last week after a Washington-led diplomatic effort, eight Turkish soldiers have been called traitors and cowards and detained. The eight - all in their late teens and early 20s - are being charged with disobeying orders, "suspicion of crime" and "going to a foreign country without permission," the last presumably referring to their captivity under Kurdish rebels based in north Iraq...
