    AP: "Do you feel that the new government will have a honeymoon, or will it be immediately faced with challenges?"
    KHALILZAD: “I think it will be faced immediately with challenges because the terrorists are not going to go away, they’re going to persist in their effort to promote a sectarian conflict.

    On the stock-market channel Friday afternoon, just before commercial time, comes news that the Senate of the USA has declared Inglés the “national language†of state. Then comes the commercial, cutting to a Chinese couple standing in a busy airport, somewhat startled by a youngish white man who rushes up to them and says “welcome to America†in Chinese. “I practiced all morning,†says the gleamy-eyed realtor. “I hope you understand. Welcome to America!†The (…)
