...architecture of the international financial system, the E.U. is already doing that. On questions of security, like the war in Afghanistan and the risk that the Horn of Africa will become a new center of global terrorism, it's not quite there. Much is going to depend on personnel. If the new President of the E.U. is a person of international stature (as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the front-runner for the post, plainly is), able to project Europe's view while convincing the smaller members of the union that their voices count, then Europe is going...
...that reason, progress on women's rights may depend on who succeeds Abdullah. Several royal princes are in line for the throne, and some of them, like the King's powerful half brother, Prince Nayef, are known for their conservative views. But as Saudi leaders try to wean the country's economy off its almost total dependence on oil, and develop new industries, they are bound to find that it makes little sense to keep half the country's human capital cooped up at home.

Woody Allen still makes movies, Rush Limbaugh remains on the air, Don Imus is back on TV, and Michael Jackson inspired greater mourning than most world leaders would...
...offensive may also prove to be more challenging because, unlike the Swat Valley - a scenic, tourist-friendly area whose residents depend on outsiders for income and trade and income - South Waziristan has historically been closed to outsiders. Even in Swat, which political leaders have declared a victory, insurgents are still ambushing military convoys and launching suicide bombings against civilian and security targets, proving, as many local residents have long attested, that Taliban leaders are still present in many of the region's villages...
