...prefer Sarkozy to 48% for Royal in a head-to-head contest. But Socialists are more concerned by polls suggesting that their candidate's often random comments are undermining that ineffable quality of being "presidentiable," or enrobed with sufficient natural authority and gravitas for the top job. Her Socialist brethren used a version of that argument, often with a sexist undertone, to try to disqualify Royal last year, and it didn't work. But in France's relatively short campaign, mistakes are cumulative. Royal has inspired enthusiasm, but to recover from her current slump, she'll need to do more...
...Tehran probably fears an Iraqi civil war more than it relishes calling the shots in Baghdad. One big reason is the Kurds. The more Iraq unravels, the closer Iraq's Kurds will edge toward outright secession. And the closer they get, the more likely it is that their Kurdish brethren across the border--who make up 7% of Iran's population--will try to join them.

...fall further into chaos. And though the Bush Administration has taken issue with a recent New York Times report that King Abdullah himself told Cheney much the same thing during his recent visit to the Kingdom, there is little doubt that the Saudis are feeling pressure from their Sunni brethren in Iraq. "The tribal leaders that come to Saudi Arabia are saying, their feeling is that the [Iraqi] central government is basically completely hostage to these [Shi'ite] militias, especially this prime minister," says one Saudi-watcher. "These are tribal leaders who are not involved in the insurgency and want...
