...Arab world," says a British official. Nor does Blair. He's seen as an appendage to Bush, both because of Iraq and because he backed Israel in rejecting a quick cease-fire in Lebanon last summer. Then there are the shopworn policies the Prime Minister is advancing to fix Iraq: "a strong political compact to bring all parties together, with clear commitment to nonsectarian government and to democracy." The international community should also "build Iraqi governing capability" and "plug any gaps in training, equipment and command in control in the Iraqi army." Sure - and while...
...Luce offers some remedies for India's pervasive poverty and uneven development: fix labor laws, improve rural infrastructure and social services, and preserve and strengthen democratic institutions. India also must stop the spread of AIDS, he says, and protect its environment, which is decaying fast as the economy heats up.

For example, he laments the stupidity of labeling all of India's diverse Muslim groups as fundamentalists, yet he brushes off the threat from Islamic fanaticism too casually.

Petsi Pies has been up and running in Somerville since 2003, and opened on Valentine’s Day in what used to be an Italian grocery store called Cremaldi’s. The shop’s sign still...
...Democratic candidate's ad than a Republican's. Many Democrats have translated their victory into a mandate for change in Iraq; the day after the midterms, Sen. Harry Reid called for a bipartisan summit on the issue, saying "The President must listen and work with Democrats to fix his failed policy." But in the end, what appears to have mattered most was Congress' own behavior. Fully 74% of voters surveyed in exit polls ranked corruption and ethics as important in determining their votes; by comparison, 67% said that about Iraq. The lack of progress in Iraq helped nationalize the elections...
