...Beyond that, U.S. officials say, Afghanistan can't be viewed in isolation. Like the carnival game of Whack-a-Mole - where furry creatures keep popping up out of holes you're not hammering - success in Afghanistan will solve only half of Washington's terrorism challenge. Victory there, officials insist, will mean little in the war on terror if the U.S. fails in Iraq - and ends up providing al-Qaeda and its allies the kind of sanctuary in Iraq that they once enjoyed in Afghanistan.

...Infernal Affairs - starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai (Hero, In the Mood for Love) as the good cop and longtime dreamboat Andy Lau as the mobster's mole - became its own cottage industry. It spawned a sequel (IA II), a prequel (IA III) and, in glorious Hong Kong fashion, at least two ripoffs (the burlesque Love Is a Many Stupid Thing and a femme version, Infernal Mission). Nominated for 16 HK Film Awards, IA won seven: for picture, director, script, lead actor (Leung), supporting actor (Anthony Wong as Leung's police boss), cinematography and editing...
