...list of what Americans want, I would add that Americans want politicians to stop the negative campaign ads. I want to hear each candidate's stance on issues and ideas for the future, not demonization using distortion or misinformation. From Donald Segretti's campaign of dirty tricks in the employ of Richard Nixon to the Swift Boat Veterans' attack on Senator John Kerry, such tactics have debased and degraded the electoral process and turned voters off. Can't we have a campaign with integrity? Jane Dineen Hackensack, New Jersey...

Experts cite myriad other privations they say the U.S. needs to focus on south of the border, including far better access to basics like health care, schools and potable water, and more reliable institutions like honest courts and cops - the kind that can battle Venezuela's soaring...
...first, embossed with the Marine Corps' seal, is titled Small-Unit Leader's Guide to Counter-Insurgency. The second is the small green notebook in which he records details of meetings with his Iraq counterpart, General Samir. U.S. commanders plan to employ classic counterinsurgency tactics rediscovered by the U.S. military through a bitter process of trial and error in Iraq. One question they face, though, is whether Washington has learned those lessons too late. Another is whether the Iraqi government and security forces on whom the new strategy crucially depends are actually part of the problem...
