Look out, Henry Kissinger, someone else may be hogging all the wattage at the next Council on Foreign Relations meeting. The prestigious foreign-policy organization, with members like Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Alan Greenspan, has nominated globetrotting actress and tabloid fixation ANGELINA JOLIE for membership. Selection of members is based on their demonstrated interest in world affairs. Jolie, who spent Oscar weekend visiting refugees in Chad for the United Nations and who has adopted a son from Cambodia and a daughter from Ethiopia, clearly fills that bill. Frankly, we can't imagine anyone better to disarm a rogue state...
...suicide bomber outside the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Feb. 27 killed about two dozen people--and underscored the mission of Dick Cheney, who had arrived less than 24 hours earlier to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The Vice President had just come from Pakistan, where he urged President Pervez Musharraf to crack down on the activities of the Taliban--which claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was timed to Cheney's visit--and al-Qaeda...

...suicide bomber detonated himself outside the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan this morning, less than 24 hours after U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney arrived to discuss mounting Taliban activity with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. While Cheney himself was far from danger, the well-timed attack underscores the urgency of the Vice President's mission in the region. Cheney had just arrived in Afghanistan following a highly secretive four-hour stopover in Pakistan, where he delivered a muscular private message to President Pervez Musharraf, in which he urged him to crack down more aggressively against Taliban and growing al-Qaeda...
