Passage of the measure marked a rare effort by Iraq's political factions to ease tensions and drew praise from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who appeared in Baghdad Jan. 15. "There seems to be a spirit of cooperation," Rice said. But a telling reflection of Baghdad's continuing dysfunction came in the vote on the law: roughly half the parliament didn't show. Moreover, the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki still faces a boycott by the country's largest Sunni bloc, the Accordance Front, and followers of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr...
...honor reserved for special friends by inviting him to his horse farm outside Riyadh. But the Saudis didn't hesitate when it came to publicly disagreeing with Bush's views on various Middle East matters.

...colorful as you can make it, every single day of the week. Along with that, have lean forms of protein - fish, nuts, lean, lean meats - but you don't have to eat them every day of the week. If you can, bring in good carbohydrates from grains and rice and quinoa, and reduce your man-made products like processed foods. Reduce your saturated fat and salt. No ifs, ands or buts. We can reduce our chances of cardiovascular illness, multiple forms of cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's and osteoarthritis just by changing what we put in our mouths...
