...June 30 deadline for withdrawal sounded almost as if he were fishing for an invitation. "If the Iraqi government wants us to stay, we will stay," said Volesky, commander of the U.S. combat brigade currently in Mosul. Volesky spoke with reporters via a teleconference from the main U.S. base in Mosul, which remains the last urban stronghold of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq.

Third: remember your base - a big reason for Gandhi's appearance at the farm-belt rally.

For the next half-century the two countries more or less cooperated, with the U.S. helping to squash rebellions and heavily investing in the economy of its tiny neighbor. The American mafia used Havana as a conference center in 1946. Ernest Hemingway lived there...
...historic election. Lugo, 57, is Paraguay's Barack Obama, the outsider agent of change who pledged to lead the South American nation out of its benighted past. The leftist former priest, who had worked among Paraguay's poorest as a bishop, toppled the seemingly omnipotent Colorado Party, the political base of the country's 19th and 20th century dictators like General Alfredo Stroessner. Lugo has since pushed for essential measures like land reform. What Paraguay is getting instead, at least for the moment, is "a telenovela," says respected investigative journalist Mabel Rehnfeldt of the newspaper ABC in the capital, Asunci...
