But while the thought of President Obama has environmentalists feeling warm around the world, the cold logic of the Inaugural schedule means that President George W. Bush's negotiators are still in charge at Poznan.

"Right after the collapse of the Taliban, the government had the opportunity to go after these commanders because they were scared and weak," she says.
