...Security in the Global Market Columnist Joe Klein's "It's Economic Security, Stupid" [March 13] hit the nail on the head. The U.S. response to the now defunct Dubai Ports deal was a global public-relations nightmare. Although I agree with Klein that a "drastically revised social safety net for American workers" would ease the collective American insecurities and provide a more rational and less emotional view of the growing global economy, I don't see that becoming a reality anytime soon.

Adding insult...

...supportive of the administration, "He was not fired." The talking point, provided to TIME by a recipient, went on: "Does the President think that Andy Card is to blame for the difficulties he has faced this year, especially the poor response during Katrina, Harriet Miers, and the recent Dubai parts fiasco?" In short, the answer was no. "Andy Card has been a terrific Chief of Staff, and he has led the White House team through many very difficult challenges for more than five and a half years," the document says. "He did it with great skill and decency...
