...bricks without straw - ready to crumble - if we don't create a productive economy again. That means creating a workforce that is educated well enough to produce more value per capita than other countries. This will be especially true in the 21st century economy, which promises to be based foremost on knowledge. And that is why the U.S. needs, particularly at this juncture, 21st century American standards for its schools...

Many in Pakistan's security establishment see the government of President Hamid Karzai as first and foremost a close ally of India's, and therefore a rival to Pakistan's strategic interests. The Obama Administration's exit strategy is unlikely to change that outlook. As long as Pakistan remains in conflict with India, the country's military establishment will be reluctant to "put all its eggs in the American basket," as a Pakistani analyst...
