...downfall of the SUV has been predicted for years. You say it's coming at $6 per gallon. Can't someone develop a safe, light, super-green SUV? It's certainly possible. But it wouldn't be a car accessible to many people. Take Chevy's Tahoe Hybrid, for example. This truck contains cutting-edge technology.

Such pressure on safe havens in Pakistan will reduce hit-and-run attacks across the border...
...some that is not enough. "I'm afraid of people fighting each other," says a 22-year-old Uighur college student. He longs to go to another city in Xinjiang where the Uighur population is larger.
