A similar calculus is being assessed in Thailand, which has 443 troops in Iraq and has already suffered two soldier casualties. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra says he will consider pulling out Thai troops if the situation deteriorates...

But to many, the haste in accusing the HUT smacked of political convenience. While the hut is virulently anti-American and anti-Jewish and spurns democracy and human rights, it rejects violence to achieve its aims - and denied responsibility for the attacks. And after all, says one Western diplomat in the country, Karimov faces a "tricky period" as the U.S. and international organizations ponder whether his government's dismal human...
