It also marks a new chapter in Lebanon's tortured history, one in which the Iran-backed militant group Hizballah is now recognized as the country's dominant political and military force - at Washington's expense. Proof of that was quick in coming: Suleiman's first official meeting as Lebanon's head of state was scheduled to be with Manuchehr Mottaki, the foreign minister of Iran...

South Africa's police have been quick to blame the riots on the same criminals who, every 24 hours, murder an average of 52 people in South Africa. President Thabo Mbeki, whose official residence in Pretoria was burgled in May, has acknowledged the threat inequality presents, but insists his government is bridging the divisions of the past. More than a million new homes have been built since apartheid ended in 1994, and Mbeki has now named a high-level government...
