...devote time to the development of his two websites, Zuckerberg said he and the other Harvard programmers will withdraw from the College for the fall semester and possibly for the spring as well...
...Allawi said in a statement. "The political process is open to all, and everyone is invited to take part in it." But Sadr has rejected the terms, refusing to be recognized simply as one among hundreds of leaders, many of whom have no proven constituency. And his refusal to withdraw his forces from around the holy sites in Najaf, instead stockpiling weapons there, eventually prompted the government to act.

Similar demands were made of Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in April when three Japanese civilians were kidnapped in Iraq, but he refused to withdraw his 550 soldiers as their captors insisted (the hostages were later freed). Likewise, South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun last month would not submit to terrorists' demands that he cancel plans to send 3,000 troops to Iraq; as a result, a South Korean contractor who had been kidnapped...
