...starters, the U.S. will have to take up the slack left by departing allies. When Spain's new Socialist Prime Minister held firm on his campaign promise to withdraw his 1,300 troops, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, which rely on the Spanish for command and control, decided to bug out as well. Thailand threatened to withdraw its aid workers if attacked, and even faithful Australia is down to 850 of the 2,000 troops it originally shipped over last year. Secretary of State Colin Powell called leaders of roughly half the 34 coalition countries to try to prevent further...
...wasn't surprising last week when relatives of the three Italian security contractors being held by insurgents in Iraq followed their captors' instructions - and organized a march against the war. The families said the demonstration was simply "for peace" and not aimed at pressuring Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to withdraw Italy's nearly 3,000 troops from Iraq, as the insurgents had specifically demanded.

Byrnes, on the other hand, will not be taking the field any time soon, forced to withdraw from classes for one year after a substandard first term as a junior...
...could not have been more provocative. In a fastidiously scripted statement derived from months of negotiation, President George W. Bush had just endorsed Sharon's controversial plan to annex territory in the West Bank and deny Palestinian refugees the right to return to Israel. In exchange, Sharon promised to withdraw Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip. The agreement broke with decades-old U.S. policy. But it appears that shift arose at least in part from the Bush Administration's being outmaneuvered by Sharon at the negotiating table...
