...economy, rose 10% last year, to a record $941 billion, and its trade surplus increased 20%, to $200.3 billion, according to Germany's Federal Statistical Office. Blanqué--who last year asked the world to "be patient with Europe"--says he sees signs that the Continent has finally "caught the train." He describes Germany's export performance as "remarkable" and says he expects the 12 European nations that have adopted the euro to experience growth of about 1.7% this year, about the same...
...their efforts to put a bright face on the administration's diminishing strategic influence, the Bush administration is accentuating the positive - the Europeans have agreed, they point out, to help train Iraqi security forces. Sure, they've agreed to train 1,000 Iraqis a year at a location outside of Iraq.

The span connects the city of Dandong with North Korea, and every day pedicab drivers and minivans haul their goods across the Yalu, bringing scissors and shampoo, fruit and vegetables, and even DVD players and color TVs to market in Kim's socialist paradise. Train cars also trundle over, carrying oil destined for use in North Korea's million-member military. For Kim, the economic link to the outside world that the bridge symbolizes is vital.
