Less than a mile to the south, the Litani River, shriveled to a creek by the summer heat, cuts through a deep, meandering gorge. The river marks the edge of Hizballah's new military territory...

Although they sustain a multitude of outside influences, most evident in the fact that Mongolian is now written in Cyrillic, they describe themselves as independent, whether residing in Ulaanbaatar (as over 50 percent of the population does) or freely on the steppes in nomadic gers. There are constant reminders of the animosity. Sukhbaatar Square, the center of Ulaanbaatar, commemorates the general who led the Mongolian independence against the Chinese.
