BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

South Africa's batsman Jacques Kallis, third from left, shakes hand with Dave Langford-Smith, left, after South Africa won their Super Eight Cricket World Cup match against Ireland at the Guyana National Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, Tuesday, April 3, 2007. South Africa won by 7 wickets with 21 balls remaining.
Spanish Civil War veteran Dave Smith points at a map of Spain depicting the time during the war, at his home in Oakland, Calif., Monday, March 31, 2008. As Spain shrugs off the last cobwebs of Gen. Francisco Franco's fascist regime 70 years after it hatched amid civil war, Americans are also looking back, honoring their own who fought there and the ideals for which they stood.
This 1937 photo provided by Spanish Civil War veteran Dave Smith, upper right, shows members of the Lincoln Brigade in Jarama, Spain. The faces of some of the approximately 3,000 men and women who broke American isolationism to volunteer in the 1936-1939 Spanish war look out from the translucent onyx squares of a monument recently inaugurated on the city's Embarcadero.
