Part of the president’s decision should be understood as a well-timed political move. The month of January witnessed accumulating reports of multi-million-dollar bonuses, corporate retreats, and profligate spending in corporations either receiving or courting federal bailout money. Then it was confirmed that Wall Street employees had received $18.4 billion in bonuses for 2008, in spite of dismal performance for banks as a whole. Meanwhile, the Obama administration, riding on a wave of high ethical expectations, has faced embarrassing criticism for political appointees accused of tax evasion and misuse of corporate privileges. Between declining consumer...
...that Tsvangirai’s decision is consistent with the very principle of democracy for which we clamor. After Tsvangirai had earlier yielded to the current deal that was brokered by the Southern African Development Community, it was up to the 60-member MDC national executive council to vote either in favor of or against participation. After an intense and charged internal debate that threatened to tear the party apart, the national executive council voted for participation. This decision represents an immense ideological shift by the MDC, a party that has always insisted on free and fair elections...
Maybe not. But it does need foreign aid, and booting a mid-level U.S. embassy messenger out of your country isn't the best way to cultivate it. Either way, this is the kind of atmosphere Obama will fly into in April when he attends his first regional summit, the Summit of the Americas, in Trinidad.

Violent acts by either Sunni militants or Shi'ite militiamen come almost every day in Iraq. U.S. military officials say violent incidents in Iraq have been slightly below 100 per week for the past 10 weeks and regard the trend as a sign of success. But that level of violence is more than enough to keep most people on edge. "From what we see on a daily basis, the war is still going...
...drove them out of Gaza. And the Islamists have long loathed the Fatah strongman, whom they blame for alleged torture of Hamas detainees in Gaza during the late 1990s - an accusation Dahlan denies. But Hamas appears to be in no mood for unity talks with Dahlan's boss, either, despite Arab efforts to broker a reconciliation. And that could imperil the flow of international aid to Gaza, battered by Israel's 19-month economic blockade and the war that killed over 1,300 Palestinians, wounded 5,300 others and caused over $2 billion in damage. The international community stands ready...
