With security problems persisting in Iraq - including Sunday's suicide car bombing in Baghdad - the Bush Administration has been more vocal in asking for assistance from other countries and the U.N. However, as a precondition for any help in Iraq, many countries, led by France, are saying the U.S. must hand over political control of Iraq to Iraqis as soon as possible. While the U.S. has said it plans to give power to an Iraqi government as soon as such a move is feasible, critics of an immediate handover say that Iraq is far from stable and a rushed transfer...

Breaking an engagement is difficult, but rather than face it with shame, many almost-unhappily-marrieds see it as a wise, even courageous act. Such "disengaged" individuals have become increasingly visible and vocal. Nobody tracks how many engagements are broken each year, and people in the always-upbeat wedding industry are reluctant to even discuss the issue. However, in an online national poll of 565 single adults conducted in August by Match.com/Zoomerang for TIME, 20% said they had broken off an engagement...
