...Macedonia's parliament will be given 45 days to adopt the political agreement expected next Monday. And during that time, NATO plans to coax the guerrillas into standing down and disarming. Of course, there are grounds to believe the guerrillas may be willing to do this: For a "Greater Albania" insurgency exported from neighboring Kosovo, they will have done extraordinarily well if they keep the deal. Most important, it will have made them an indispensable factor in the stability of Macedonian political life - this despite their habit of driving non-Albanians out of the villages they've captured. Guerrilla commanders...
...great struggle of their households. They find themselves quietly shedding old friends when they diverge over discipline; they shop online to avoid the temptation their kids face up and down the endless aisles; they attend workshops and buy books to help bolster their resolve. If you doubt the guerrilla war, just check in with groups like the Center for a New American Dream: three years ago its website had fewer than 15,000 hits a month; today it gets more than 1.5 million...

According to the official Indian report, the rebels, whom it accuses of crossing from Pakistan, open fire immediately when challenged. The shooting rages through dawn and beyond, eight hours in all. The army later proudly displays the bodies of 18 "foreign mercenaries," whom it says were members of the Lashkar-i-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Muhammad groups...
...stone for a memorial to the 4,000-5,000 people who have "disappeared" since 1989?those arrested by Indian security forces and never seen again. The site is at Idgah, outside Srinagar, next to the Mazar-e-Shohda Muslim cemetery, where thousands of the conflict's dead, including guerrilla commanders, lie buried. The crowd is full of relatives of the vanished?the elderly, parents, widows, children?who live in a state of suspended bereavement. Gentle weeping builds to a crescendo of wailing that sweeps the crowd, enveloping veteran reporters on its sidelines. Roomie Khan, 5, Aadil Badyarie...
