Even as the U.S. military slowly withdraws from Iraq, the flow of additional U.S. forces into Afghanistan--to what many in the U.S. military call the "forgotten war"--is on the rise. By late this summer, 32,000 American troops are scheduled to be in Afghanistan, the most in more than six years of combat. Beyond highlighting the resilience of the U.S. military, it also showcases the increasing irrelevance of NATO, which is supposed to be leading the fight. Some key alliance members--France, Germany, Italy and Spain--are refusing to send troops to battle the Taliban or placing "caveats...

...sense of urgency. The album’s missteps are few. “Race To The Bottom” is an eight-minute, heavily distorted instrumental that most listeners are likely to skip, but as the penultimate track it doesn’t detract much from the flow of the album. “It’s No Fun Until They See You Cry,” the album’s opener and an intended tribute to Mark E. Smith of The Fall, is an adequate homage, but does not stand up well next to the other...
...bleed off pressure inside the volcano slowly enough so that Lusi wouldn't simply erupt elsewhere - or shoot the concrete balls back out like a cannon. Satria Bijaksana, one of the Bandung scientists who came up with the idea, says that the balls reduced the mud's flow temporarily. But the project was abandoned last March when a new government team took over management of the site. More recently, a Japanese team proposed building a 130-ft.-high (40 m high) dam to contain the mud. Scientists familiar with Lusi have dismissed that idea. Because the ground beneath the caldera...
...Going with the Flow"] Lusi may, in fact, be unstoppable. In 1979, the oil company Shell set off a similar eruption while drilling off the shore of Brunei. That mudflow took 20 years and 20 relief wells to halt, according to Mark Tingay, a geologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Lusi may eventually choke itself as mud clogs its interior plumbing. But if left to die on its own, Davies estimates that it could continue to erupt for years, and perhaps even decades. Hardi Prasetyo, deputy head of the new government team in charge of Lusi, says that...
