...brink of war, the world suffered a spectacular outbreak of foolishness last week. Few countries or institutions were spared. The absurd adventures of the Bush Administration, the British, the French and the Guineans have been widely reported. Donald Rumsfeld's latest act of indecent exposure - he insulted our closest ally, Britain - was duly noted (but publicly ignored, once again, by the President, who seems not to mind such behavior). Assorted Europeans, celebrities and the New York Council worked themselves into a fatuous lather over the arrogance of American power. And American conservatives blamed it all on the U.N. "As each...

...BULGARIA One of the U.S.'s staunchest backers on Iraq has already received a nice thank-you. On a tour to tell Eastern Europe "how much we appreciate them" for their support, Commerce Secretary Donald Evans last week gave Bulgaria a special treat: he announced that the U.S. now officially considers the country a "market economy." That will lay out a welcome mat to investors...
