...Europe's middle-sized drug companies, such as Germany's Schering. A mid-sized suitor would be attracted to Bayer's existing U.S. sales and Bayer management could receive 30-40% of the shares in such a combination. "There is nothing in it for big companies like Glaxo," says Colin Isaac, an analyst with J.P. Morgan. "Bayer is No. 18 in terms of sales but in terms of profitability they are 43."

The American Administration's commitment to democracy in the region seems to have been a long time coming, and so far has had little heft behind it. In December, Secretary of State Colin Powell gave an important speech, in which he said the U.S. must give "sustained and energetic attention to economic, political and educational reform" in the Middle East. Powell then announced a new U.S.--Middle East Partnership Initiative to span the "hope gap" with "energy, ideas and funding." There will...
