A woman walks past a bank's advertisement showing its lending rate in Seoul August 24, 2011. With the growing risk of a global double-dip recession hitting exports from South Korea's economy, consumer spending has been key to economic growth. But household borrowing has propped up that spending. With debt far above levels that triggered a credit card crisis eight years ago, it is now perhaps the biggest risk that Korea faces and one that the government is loath to tackle ahead of elections next year.

Revolutionary graffiti caricaturing Muammar Gaddafi adorns a wall in Benghazi March 23, 2011. Like many dictators, Gaddafi carefully controlled how his image was used, often portraying himself as a deity or beloved leader. With the rebellion, however, freedom of expression in rebel controlled areas means that ridicule has become a key weapon in the fight against the climate of fear that has long gripped the country. Anti-Gaddafi caricatures and graffiti have sprung up across cities such as Benghazi, most of them portraying him in an unflattering light. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly (LIBYA - Tags: CONFLICT POLITICS) 

A picture of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is seen on a plastic chair in downtown Cairo in this March 26, 2007 file photo. Egypt used to be the undisputed Arab power. In the 1950s and 60s, Nasser electrified Arabs with his defiance of colonial powers, enmity for Israel and heady brand of Arab nationalism and socialism. Western powers loathed him, just as today they revile Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his "resistance" rhetoric. President Hosni Mubarak, 82, who has ruled Egypt for almost 30 years and may well stand for a sixth term next year, has preserved the peace treaty with Israel and stuck solidly in the U.S. camp. What he lacks, says Amr Hamzawy, an analyst at the Carnegie Endowment's Middle East Centre, is "the vision component. Mubarak is not a visionary leader and is too old to become one."
