...Belgian unions warn their comrades in St. Louis to expect the worst. "I wouldn't trust their promises," says Alfons De Mey, president of the 110,000-member Belgian food and hotel workers union. "InBev is all about money. We've seen centuries-old breweries close down here in Belgium, and there are now only two big ones left in the country, in Leuven and Jupille."

Israel would just have to return the Golan Heights, a rocky Syrian plateau that Israel captured in 1967. If Israel had a strong leader with a popular mandate (admittedly a big if) this wouldn't be impossible given that Israeli settlement in the Golan is relatively sparse and the Heights are no longer so strategically important thanks to advances in Israeli defense technology. But the tougher question is what Israel should get in return for the Golan...
