Publisher's Note:  It isn't impossible to understand what's happening in Asia right now; it's just difficult. More important, it is almost impossible to find the truth about these changes, in print or on the Web. For these reasons, we have Asia Editor Scott Foster to thank for delivering something a bit different in this issue: an on-the-ground tour around many of Asia's key countries, looking at economic, political, and military issues as they see them.
