...Indeed the restaurant is overflowing, both in people and enthusiasm. When Huckabee walked in a few minutes earlier, before he even said a word, everyone spontaneously stood and applauded, as if he had already won something. It was a welcome relief after an hour-long flight through frozen winds on rickety prop planes - one for the candidate and two for the press, including a wood-paneled antique that seated just five. It was also a sharp contrast to the cold shoulder Huckabee received from the journalistic establishment Monday, in one of the oddest press conferences in modern presidential campaign history...
...FARCland. The left-wing Chavez learned an important lesson about the 20,000-strong rebel army: it couldn't care less about its public relations image because it is powerful and rich enough not to have to care. Maybe it could have been counted on to keep its word a generation ago, when combating Colombia's epic social inequalities was still its primary objective.

For Huckabee, the test has become whether he can follow a political, instead of a religious, golden...
...fight, launched a bloody sectarian campaign against Pakistani Shi'ites. In 1996, amid these attacks, Lashkar-i-Jhangvi was formed by a disgruntled member of Sipah-e-Sahaba who named his group after the martyred founder of Sipah-e-Sahaba, Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. (Lashkar is an Urdu word meaning Army, hence "The Army of Jhangvi.") In January 1998, four Lashkar-i-Jhangvi gunmen fired AK-47 machine guns on a Shi'ite wake in Mominpura cemetery near Lahore, killing 24 mourners...
