...coalition's reduced footprint isn't supposed to compromise their ability to get at the "anti-Iraqi forces"--military shorthand for homegrown insurgents and foreign terrorists. "The enemy will still feel our breath on his neck," says Major General Peter Chiarelli, commander of the 1st Cavalry, the armored division responsible for the security of Baghdad. "We'll make damn sure the bad guys know we're still in the neighborhood...
Jefferson passed down his ideas instead, many of them still fresh and controversial (the complete separation of church and state, the suspicion that money would conspire with power to establish a sinister homegrown aristocracy), a few of them outlandish and fanciful (his suggestion that the Constitution be revisited every 19 years so that each generation could establish its own government) and a couple of them that were repugnant even to some folks in his day (for example, his pseudoscientific notion that blacks are the mental inferiors of whites). All of them are impossible to ignore, though, because of the care...
...effort to drive out foreign occupiers and reclaim power. But a TIME investigation of the insurgency today--based on meetings with insurgents, tribal leaders, religious clerics and U.S. intelligence officials--reveals that the militants are turning the resistance into an international jihadist movement.

"What they can do, the Chinese people can do as well," says Shan Qining, a Wahaha spokesman. (Never mind that French yogurtmaker Danone owns 51% of Wahaha.) But the homegrown alternative has yet to pose a challenge to the American biggies, which account for 67% of the market in China, according to Beverage Digest. In the U.S., Wahaha already has a toehold: last year it sold $1 million worth of its sweet milkbased drink for children, AD Gai Nai, which...
...While some, like Prince Bandar, have called for a no-holds-barred jihad against Saudi Arabia's homegrown Qaeda element, others incline towards more conciliatory approaches, treating the problem as one of criminal deviance and premised on the idea that many who have been "misled" onto the al-Qaeda path need to be brought back into the mainstream. Some have emphasized the need for strong intelligence to accurately pick off terrorists through targeted police work, while avoiding any kind of mass crackdown on some of the wider ideological base that shares al-Qaeda's outlook but may not be directly...
