...particular brand of counterterrorism: search-and-destroy sweeps, intelligence gathering, infiltration, targeted assassination. The Americans have never been keen on "nation building." They have run prts, but only as a second string to the imperative of counterterrorism. The Europeans, on the other hand, are only there for nation building, albeit in a muscular way. They see this as their particular contribution to the long-term eradication of jihadist terrorism. In any case, they carry out their counterterrorism differently from the U.S., led more by police than soldiers. Europeans worry that their new role in 75% of the country will just...
...more than 4%. That's the strongest two-year growth period in three decades, and there's more good news to come: the world economy is on track to enjoy another bumper year in 2006 as this twin American-Chinese engine continues to power ahead. That upbeat forecast - albeit with some significant caveats - emerged from a lively discussion of Time 's Board of Economists at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week.

Five years ago, when Hamas sent suicide bombers to Tel Aviv, Israel would respond by attacking the Palestinian Authority.

Astronomers have found more than 150 planets orbiting distant stars, but they?ve all been so much bigger than Earth that they?re totally inhospitable to life. But now, with a little help from Albert Einstein, they?ve spotted a world that is by far the smallest ever found- albeit still about 5.5 times the mass of our home planet- which means that many more, even smaller planets, could be discovered reasonably soon...
...your hand to read the words. Dialogue has also been carelessly allowed to overlap the edges of the balloons in some cases and sound effects have been messily overlaid on the original Korean characters. It's frustrating when The Push Man, which costs the same as Buja's Diary, albeit at 80 fewer pages, comes in a hardcover, with better paper and vastly more care about the artwork. NBM needs to do Seyeong O better than this...
