...weapons in self-defense. "The problem for this force is it's going to be there with the consent of Hizballah, essentially," says Tim Williams of the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies in London. France's hesitancy could compel the U.N. to sharpen its approach, but there is scant room for maneuver. In the end, President Jacques Chirac may find it hard not to beef up France's U.N. contingent to uphold two of his long-cherished principles: multilateralism and an independent Lebanon...

BHP Billiton (2005 revenues: $32 billion), an international petroleum and mining company, joined a similar partnership of businesses, charities and government organizations to decrease malaria rates in southern Mozambique, where the conglomerate has an aluminum smelter...

I believe that is a little harsh because in the past dozen or so years South Korea has tried diplomacy with the North even as it bolstered its defense capabilities. The combination of strong defense and openness to negotiation is probably about as good...
