I don't have time to shop so I grabbed a pair of tights and figured I would try them on at home. I put them on and I can't get them on. I try to put these on and it's like a tourniquet ...

...rest of the world, the dispute presented a golden opportunity. The Middle East didn't waste time, stepping in with loans and development projects - or as one Western observer put it, "a rain of dollars." In June, the Islamic Development Bank - a lender in which Saudi Arabia, Libya and Iran hold the three largest stakes - agreed to build a railroad connecting Turkmenistan and Iran, the first direct rail link between the Islamic Republic and Central Asia.
