...dilemma for the Pentagon is that until it beefs up the 2,000-strong American ground force and authorizes it to take control of the manhunt, the U.S. military can only cajole the Afghan forces to do what it wants. In eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. has plied one bin Laden hunter, Haji Zaman, with $100 for each of his soldiers. The $25 million bounty promised to the warlord who captures bin Laden has created a dash for the Saudi's throat between Zaman and two rival commanders, Hazrat Ali and Haji Qadir. U.S. officials treated claims of bin Laden sightings...
...enmeshed in controversy. As I wrote in TIME a few months ago, you can't really criticize people whose reason for opposing research that uses embryos is that they truly believe embryos are fully human beings. But you can criticize politicians who try to escape this yes-or-no dilemma with calls for compromise or delay or prestigious panels to study the situation and report back in a few months. Can't they hear that sound of clocks ticking? Tempus fugit, assholes...

...surgery doesn't always ensure mental well-being. Zhang Wen found she was 4 cm shy of the 1.6-m height requirement for Air China stewardesses. Last year, a surgeon in the central city of Chongqing promised to solve her dilemma for $3,000. After four months' hospitalization and nearly a year of rehab, one of Zhang's legs is 3 cm shorter than the other, causing her to limp. Having spent her savings on the botched operation, Zhang can't afford more surgery. Such malpractice is common in China's booming south, where fly-by-night surgeons take advantage...
...Israeli peaceniks, however, see thing differently. An editorial in the dovish daily Haaretz captures Israel's military-political dilemma right now: "(Military) actions are supposed to increase pressure on Arafat - pressure that is also being applied by Bush, the European Union and other Palestinian leaders - to take action against Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Calibrating the precise dosage of this pressure is not possible. If it is too weak, it is of no use. If there is an overdose, it is liable to bring about the collapse of the PA and to leave Israel facing millions of Palestinians and dozens...
