In Afghanistan, US troops are not just fighting, they're building infrastructure in places too dangerous for civilian reconstruction teams. With violence worse than it's been since defeat of the Taliban in 2001, is a major Bush-Administration achievement slipping away? Also, President Bush signs a new energy bill, and despite a brewing financial scandal the former CEO of Hyndai has been elected President of South Korea. Will North Korea be more or less likely to give up nuclear weapons?
