...enthusiasm for the ballot box, Hong Kong is firmly within today's Asian mainstream. This week sees the first chance that Indonesians?238 million of them?have had to elect their President directly, and they have taken to the opportunity with gusto.

The DLC opened the current presidential campaign by supporting the war in Iraq, not reluctantly as John Kerry did, but with neoconservative gusto. In typical From fashion, the DLC blasted what he views as the Kumbaya wing of the Democratic Party for being weak-kneed on defense.
