...Bush as Israel's best-ever friend in the White House, Sharon wants to avoid creating diplomatic difficulties for an administration whose stake in the Middle East has grown exponentially since it took possession of Iraq. At the same time, Sharon is keenly aware of the strongly pro-Likud sentiment of the hawkish faction of the Bush administration, which together with the overwhelming support on Capitol Hill for his own policies has given him the freedom to cherry-pick U.S. positions. Even his embrace of the roadmap has been partial and conditional, and he claims to have achieved understandings with...

Colonel Steven Boylan, a spokesman for U.S. forces in South Korea: "Everything we are doing is to enhance the alliance, not diminish it." With anti-American sentiment still strong in South Korea, the U.S. decision might seem like a boon to President Roh Moo Hyun; in his younger days, he supported the withdrawal of American troops. No danger of that here: the move comes with a $11 billion investment to bolster U.S. defenses on the peninsula...
