...attaches to enhancing our transatlantic partnership, from the work we do in Afghanistan and Iraq to every part of the world." Brown also complimented Bush on "the resolution that he has shown in rooting out terrorism in all parts of the world; in working for a Middle East peace settlement; in bringing hope to Africa; in working for a free-trade world." This would be an impressive roster of achievements by most lights, but Bush felt the need to claim a further garland. "One of the things that I will leave behind is a multilateralism to deal with tyrants...
...Maoism's methods are no gentle wake-up call. India's Naxalites have taken to heart Mao Zedong's maxim that "the seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution," killing and abducting enemies and using coercion and force to win support among the very same villagers they claim to be liberating.

But the militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, opposes a peace deal and is gaining power from Abbas and launching attacks on Israel with greater frequency, taking advantage of public...
...hopeless. They meet in the eponymous city, he having lost his job, she having lost her fiance. Both are trying to forget these blows. But they get drunk, get married on a whim - and accidentally win three million dollars on a single turn at a slot machine. This inconveniences settlement of the divorce proceedings that shortly ensue, for a cranky judge (Dennis Miller) sentences them to six months "hard marriage," - complete with couples therapy presided over by Queen Latifah - to see if they can work things...
