...those right-of-center leaders have taken a page from Bill Clinton's breviary on "triangulation." Here is the right, there is the left, and we sail straight through the middle. Or from Winnie-the-Pooh who answered, when asked whether he preferred honey or condensed milk on his toast, that he would take both, but could do without the bread. Pooh...
...baiting continued after the fall of the Soviet Union, albeit with its ardor considerably cooled. George H.W. Bush attacked Bill Clinton during the 1992 campaign for visiting Moscow as a student, and an old photo of John Kerry with the socialist President of Nicaragua haunted him in 2004. All of which means Obama might have to get used to this...
...interest in ever returning to the six-party negotiations in which the U.S. enlisted South Korea, Japan, China and Russia as its negotiating partners. Pyongyang has always wanted to deal directly with Washington, as it did in 1994 when it negotiated the so-called "Agreed Framework" with the Clinton administration - the first instance in which Pyongyang agreed to stop work on its nuclear program.

...Phnom Penh that mentors and provides education to thousands of kids every year. Tiny Toones has earned write-ups in the local and international media, and his breakdancing group has spawned copycat troupes across the capital. In 2008, K.K. even performed in Hong Kong in front of President Bill Clinton - the same man who signed the law that got K.K. deported.

"K.K. represents the opportunity to explore and discover your potential," says Holly...
...Somalia is undermining the Somali President's ability to woo the moderate Islamists whose support he'll need to restore peace in Somalia. The U.S. does not seem ready to abandon the country anytime soon. During her seven-nation tour of Africa in August, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Somali President Sheik Sharif Ahmed - a symbolically potent occasion, given that he had once opposed the U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops that invaded Somalia in 2006 to try to defeat the Islamists. The Americans will most likely continue to launch targeted strikes against suspected al-Qaeda militants and keep...
