...reasonable expectation. Only hours before the attempt on Karzai last Thursday, a bomb planted in a taxi detonated on one of Kabul's busiest downtown streets, killing 32 and injuring at least 150. Government investigators said they had no evidence that the attacks were coordinated, but many Afghans had their suspicions. The blast in Kabul last week, the most lethal in a rash of bombings this summer, came after weeks of intelligence warnings about the likelihood of terrorist attacks around the anniversary of Sept. 11.

It is the newest big-city airport in the U.S. (it opened in February 1995) and by many measures the best run. Though it is the fifth busiest airport in the U.S., it has had the lowest rate of delays for four straight years. This is due partly to its five nonintersecting runways (a sixth is under construction) and equipment that makes Denver the only airport that can allow three simultaneous landings if needed.
