Indonesian upper-crusters have joined the masses in their fondness of Indlish. "Gue tadi lunch meeting sama boss," says a Jakarta businesswoman--who had a lunch meeting with her boss. In the Philippines, Tagalog and English form Taglish, which is widely used by politicians and lawyers...
This all sounds great, but there's still one major problem. "Who's going to pay?" asks Ron Gue, president of IT consultant Phoenix Health Systems.

An attempt by former president Henri Konan Bédié to exclude Outtara from the last election had prompted General Gueï's coup, but the general had then held the reins himself rather than hand over to Outtara. The only way out the mess, according to the international community and Ivory Coast's French-speaking neighbors, is to hold new elections. But Gbagbo isn't having any of it. Once...
