...seedings count. That's how South Korea ended up facing the diplomatically sensitive challenge of having to beat North Korea in order to secure one of the 32 places at World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Even more potentially volatile was the May 31 match-up between Sudan and Chad - FIFA postponed that one indefinitely, because the two countries were on the brink of war. (A World Cup qualifier in which El Salvador beat Honduras in 1969 saw long-running tensions erupt into a brief war.) But many in Turkey and Armenia are seeing their national teams' World Cup encounter...
...Chad does have a plan. He's come across a disc containing Cox's notes toward a mem-wah, and he brings Linda into the notion of calling Cox to return the disc; maybe the grateful owner will give them a small reward. Cox misinterprets Chad's call as blackmail, and rears up to snort and neigh at the do-gooders. That brings Harry into the plot, and things devolve from there...

However, when Mugabe attended the recent African Union leaders' meeting - fresh from an "election" marked by murder, torture and intimidation - nobody rebuked him or asked him to step down. That is because all the other leaders are doing similar things. In Egypt, Eritrea, Libya, Chad, Djibouti and elsewhere in Africa, leaders have a great deal in common with Mugabe. Some spend millions on themselves while their people remain vulnerable to starvation, then beg for foreign aid. Our forebears set our nations free from the colonial powers. These days Africans need liberating from our own leaders...
