...Martinez, a Republican from Florida. Alaska's Ted Stevens threatened to resign from the Senate if it supported Coburn's drive to cut the "Bridge to Nowhere" from last year's budget, and Coburn won only 15 votes for the provision. But while his victories are rare and the ire from his colleagues high, Coburn says he doesn't mind. "I don't care about the next election. I don't care about getting reelected," he says. "We have to change the process...
...Korea Wave, a surge of interest in Korean pop, films, TV dramas and design that first overtook the nation in 2002, when the two countries co-hosted the World Cup and bilateral relations were at their best. Many Japanese politicians, meanwhile, seem either incapable of understanding Korean ire toward Japan or simply don't care. This further fuels the cycle of resentment and distrust.

The Abdul Rahman case highlights the limits on the freedom the U.S. has brought to Afghanistan, and will raise the ire of the Evangelical Christian political base of the GOP. But Washington will also be aware that the current political order may be as good as it gets right now, in terms of an Afghan government allied with the West. And if the priority is saving Mr. Rahman's life and preserving...
