...over the DIAOYU ISLANDS. The Diaoyus?known in Japan as the Senkakus?have been under Japanese control for more than a century, but feuds still rage over who owns them. In March, Chinese nationalists planted a flag on Diaoyu soil; their subsequent arrest by the Japanese navy led to furious demonstrations in Beijing, with Chinese protesters burning Japanese flags. Intensifying the furor, Taiwan two weeks ago said that it's adding the Diaoyus to official maps of its own territory. And the Diaoyus aren't the only islands of dubious value to excite territorial passions. Everyone, it seems, wants...
...Antananarivo looks to be losing the battle against human encroachment. Engulfed by the capital's urban sprawl, the SNGF's small, scruffy patch of land has row upon row of seedlings, some of them species facing extinction in the wild.

...weekend, as did the IGC's human rights minister, and others warned that they may follow suit. The Council was not consulted about the U.S. plans in Fallujah and to go after the Sadr movement. Instead, Council members found themselves having to defend themselves in the face of a furious public reaction, and they've done so mostly by distancing themselves from the Americans. Even more worrying for the U.S. is the fact that many of the Iraqi security forces that Washington had hoped would increasingly share the security burden in Iraq appear to have felt a similar impulse...
