...single casualty is one too many, whether in major combat operations or in the current guerrilla attacks, which were easily predictable. The extent of resistance faced by coalition troops is understandably troubling. Despite all the obstacles, Bush appears to be patient, strong and determined to see this matter through. And that is why I think his popularity ratings will soon bounce back. Agnieszka Idzik Jaslo, Poland...
...finding it and holding them accountable" was "now the focus of my administration." Domestic policy would remain important, he said, but his priority was taking the fight to an enemy far away.

...unhappy at TIME'S inaccurate portrayal of Karachi, the city where I was born and bred [June 16]. I feel it has been purposely exaggerated to create a wrong impression of the city and of the Muslim world. Karachi does have law-and-order problems, but not to this extent. So far, during the first 17 years of my life, all spent in Karachi, I have never?and, I am sure, never will?witness what you describe. Social work is taking place in Karachi, which is now the main seaport, industrial and financial hub of the country. The city boasts...
