...here, five there?of the sort that old colonial powers like France and Britain once learned to endure. That hasn't happened yet; Shah-i-Kot marks the first time in many years that Americans have died in battle on a foreign field without a sense of outrage and shame at home. After 18 Army Rangers and special forces died at the battle of Mogadishu in 1993?the subject of the film Black Hawk Down?some relatives of the dead thought their sons had been betrayed by their political leaders, while many citizens felt guilty about allowing...

Rolexes per capita, definitely. But last week at home, the former British colony's notoriously lackluster soccer team trounced the mainland in the Carlsberg Cup, a tournament generally more impressive for copious refreshments than any sporting achievements. So it was that the Hong Kong side, a group of expats and locals even fans describe as "total no-hopers," took on a Chinese World Cup squad whose recent form...
