His brother Lech will stay on until 2010 as President, a post that carries considerable influence on foreign affairs. "We shall keep track of [the PO's] promises", the outgoing Prime Minister said. "I repeat, we shall account for everything that was said." Poland has new leaders and, in all likelihood, a more stable government. But as that veiled threat from the outgoing government suggested, the fireworks are far from over...

An uneasy truce prevailed in the area between U.S. forces and the Mahdi Army, the militia headed by Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Both sides seemed eager to avoid a repeat of the open clashes that erupted in 2004 in Karbala and Najaf, where Sadr's militia holds sway. So U.S. troops generally stayed away...
