...Room for ImprovementOn the campaign trail, Giuliani's foreign policy comments have sometimes come off more confident than competent. In New Hampshire this spring, according to the New York Times, Giuliani said it was unclear whether Iran or North Korea was further along on building a nuclear bomb. (North Korea tested a nuclear device in October 2006. Iran has not done so.) Then, in his speech at the Maryland synagogue in July, Giuliani mocked Democratic candidate Barack Obama for claiming that North Korea was the nation's No. 1 enemy. "North Korea is an enemy.

Passengers spilled, screaming, out of the train, some rolling on the platform to try to put out the flames, others beating back the fire with their coats...

...still too early to conclude that Chechnyan rebels were responsible for this bomb. The last train bombing in Russia occurred in June 2005, on a Grozny-to-Moscow train, but the perpetrators were an ethnic Russian Nazi group. Putin prepares to stand down once his second presidential tenure expires in May 2008. Kremlin insiders don't know who will succeed him, but throughout history, acts of terror have proven useful rationales to seize or hold on to power. The apartment bombings of 1999 helped make Putin president. A seizure of a school by terrorists in the city of Beslan...
