Although Latin America attracts nowhere near the foreign direct investment (FDI) that Asia or even Eastern Europe does, competitiveness is on the rise among South America's ABC countries--Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Like most other Latin countries, the ABCs were pulled on the economic torture rack during the 20th century between socially negligent capitalism and fiscally profligate populism. But today they lead a potent common market, Mercosur. (Chile is an associate member.) And while each has a leftist President--Chile's Michelle Bachelet is also a socialist--the ABCs are spelling a model, "pragmatic socialism," says Jerry Haar...
...only effect that withdrawing from Iraq had on Spain was that it saved Spanish lives and resources.Between 2004 and the present, on the other hand, the U.S. has lost much. U.S. public opinion is not in favor of the war. Sixty-three percent of adults said in a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll that the war was “not worth fighting.” Perhaps this is because since 2004, when Spain withdrew, 3,374 Americans have died in Iraq (according to the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, an independent Web site that tracks military deaths).

In fact, other Democrats - except Christopher Dodd, who flat-out opposed the idea - seemed prohibitively chuckleheaded on this issue: it is hard to imagine why a recent illegal immigrant, unfamiliar with U.S. roads and driving practices, would come forward to get a driver...
...Explaining the decision to appeal to the Spanish newspaper ABC, chief prosecutor Javier Zaragoza maintained that the two charges were not identical. "Different people were implicated, different criminal activities committed - the Italian conviction doesn't include all the activities of the group that developed in Spain," he said. According to Zaragoza's interpretation, Osman was involved with two separatist organizations, and can therefore be convicted separately for membership in each...
When I was a middling political reporter covering presidential campaigns, the first stop of my day was always Mark Halperin's politics coverage on ABCNews.com I wasn't alone--pretty much every political reporter started with Mark's take on the day. After 20years at ABC News--where he is still an on-air consultant--Mark came to TIME this spring. Last week we launched thepage.time.com his daily one-stop-shopping site for everything that's important in the political world. I'm guessing that it will become the indispensable site not only for political insiders but also...
