...reconcile his party with the island's fast-growing sense of a Taiwanese (as opposed to Chinese) identity, and overcome deep factional divides. Failure will probably cost Pan-Blue its majority in the legislature during elections this December?its last toehold on power. Success will require winning a tough two-front war. On one side are Taiwanese voters, like those in Yunlin, who are now drawn to Chen and his "Taiwan first" message.

"We simply don't know right now where Omar is," the U.S. Central Command chief, General Tommy Franks, said Friday. A Kandahar eyewitness told TIME that early in the week Omar was spotted heading into the hills around Argandhab, west of Kandahar, with five bodyguards...
