That message might resonate most with the Irish themselves. For generations, Ireland had to export its underemployed to foreign shores, particularly the U.S. They were not always welcome for the very same reasons that the Poles were feared. Now the Celtic Tiger has reversed history: Ireland's modern diaspora has been returning home to a robust economy infused by immigrant Poles. It's a welcome, and welcoming, place for both...
Second, it is a way for the rich to export the real costs and sacrifices of pollution control to the poorer segments of humanity in the Third World. (Apparently, Hollywood's plan is to make up for that by adopting every last one of their children.) For example, GreenSeat, a Dutch carbon-trading outfit, buys offsets from a foundation that plants trees in Uganda's Mount Elgon National Park to soak up the carbon emissions of its rich Western patrons. Small problem: expanding the park encroaches on land traditionally used by local farmers. As a result, reports the New York...
...believes a breakthrough is imminent. Burns tells Time that the U.S. is close to winning a consensus in the Security Council for a second set of sanctions targeting arms sales and export credits to Iran.

Ghana's economy began to fall apart. In 1964, in a move that would be repeated by other African leaders in the decades to come, Nkrumah declared Ghana a one-party state and himself leader for life. The early optimism was replaced...
...both of them are years behind Amazon.com, which has allowed peeks into the titles on its site since 2003. But Random House and HarperCollins have loftier goals than Amazon: they want to bring literature to the Facebook generation. Both publishing houses are introducing tools that will allow readers to export text from their books to other forums. Readers can use Insight to post content on personal Web sites, while HarperCollins’ widget can place content on social networking sites like MySpace.com. Has the publishing industry really sunk to level of MySpace? Will chunks of Ulysses soon co-exist with...
