...attacks against Arab Americans in the days after he spoke. But the impact overseas was even more dramatic. The White House heard instantly from its embassies in the Middle East. Ambassador Margaret Tutwiler, who left the West Wing over the summer to take up her post as U.S. envoy to Morocco, called adviser Karen Hughes from Rabat. "Keep it up," said Tutwiler, whose ear for the right political move is unrivaled. "It's getting incredible coverage." When King Abdullah of Jordan paid a visit to the White House late last month, he privately commended the mosque visit, hinting that similar...
...tribes have always ruled Afghanistan, and they want to see that happen again. As a Pashtun, Zahir Shah fits the bill. The ethnic minorities of the Northern Alliance find him acceptable too. After dismissing past efforts to bring back the monarch, Pakistan is now inviting him to send an envoy to Islamabad to discuss the political future of Afghanistan. Once inside Afghanistan, Zahir Shah intends to call a loya jirga (gathering) of all the ethnic tribes to oust the Taliban...

An official deeply involved in the issue tells TIME, "There'll be something by Crawford, because the President is never wrong...
...political order has been negotiated. And the escalation of fighting threatens to turn Monday's political agreement - if the two sides are still able to sign by then - into a sideshow. The immediate problem may be that the agreement being painstakingly brokered by EU representative Francois Leotard and U.S. envoy James Pardew does not involve the ethnic-Albanian guerrillas of the National Liberation Army, whose insurrection has brought the former Yugoslav republic to the brink of civil war. It is, therefore, not a peace deal, but a political agreement between the country's main parliamentary parties to substantially expand...
