...region. Russia sold missiles to longtime ally Syria, but the weapons haven't actually been shipped, as far as Washington knows. The Bush administration was less than thrilled when Moscow invited Hamas leaders to visit after they won the Palestinian elections - the organization is still on U.S. and European terror lists. Nevertheless, says the senior U.S. official, "as near as we can gather, they passed on the right message about recognizing Israel, renouncing terrorism and adhering to all the obligations the Palestinian authorities had undertaken" about negotiating with Israel...
...four suicide bombers who carried out the London attacks were second-generation British citizens (the fourth, Germaine Lindsay, was a Jamaican-born British resident); the young men blended easily into the Muslim community, and their families and neighbors seem not to have known that they were involved in terrorism.

About 40,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed, not to mention untold thousands of Iraqi conscript soldiers; the Americans are too arrogant to even keep count, publishing only their own fatalities...
...survey said they approved of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, vs. 35% in March, and 47% in March 2005. His management of the U.S. economy lost supporters, too, as 36% approved, compared with 39% three months earlier. Bush's handling of the war on terror saw a slight gain in support, from...
