...down for a scheduled bilateral meeting next Tuesday in New York they will discuss the recent episode in Baghdad involving the Blackwater security firm, which is critical to the way American diplomats operate in Iraq. Already, during a telephone conversation on Monday night, Maliki and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice agreed that U.S. diplomats must be free to travel around Iraq, but how they will do that is now a point of contention. Since Iraq suspended Blackwater's license following the Sunday firefight, American diplomats have not been able to travel outside the Green Zone to visit ministries...
...decision by Israel's security cabinet Wednesday to declare Gaza a "hostile entity" could not have come at a worse time for U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She had arrived in Israel the same day hoping to drum up support for an Israeli-Arab summit this November, which nobody outside the White House seems to want. But Israel's latest move, in retaliation for rocket fire into southern Israel from Palestinian militants in Gaza, is unlikely to help promote her mission...
Iraq's apparent decision to move forward with the suspension of Blackwater's license could have serious repercussions for the ability of U.S. diplomats and others to function in Iraq, since they depend heavily on Blackwater and other security companies for their protection.

...party talks on North Korea have not developed into a permanent institution. In Southeast Asia, diplomats have invested sweat on a free-trade zone, but pay little attention to the ASEAN Regional Forum, Southeast Asia's security-talk shop. Washington doesn't help, either: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice simply skipped the Forum in August. Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo put the best face on her absence, saying, "Provided the U.S. stays engaged, this can be a new golden age for Asia and the world." But in case that golden age never comes, Asia can still rely on steel...
...YORK—University President Drew G. Faust is the 47th most powerful woman in the world, according to a recent ranking by Forbes Magazine. While Faust’s ranking doesn’t quite measure up to German Chancellor Angela Merkel (number one) or Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (number four), Harvard’s first female president does outrank First Lady Laura Bush (number 60), news anchor Katie Couric (number 63), and the presidents of several small nations. Out of the 100 women on the list, Faust is the only one with a job in higher education...
