...expanded to 2.5 million bbl. before the recent attacks; Nigeria is now the sixth biggest oil exporter in the world. Western oil companies, eager for a supply from outside the Middle East, want to increase production from Africa. On a visit to Nigeria three weeks ago, Chinese President Hu Jintao signed deals to increase Chinese exploration and production. But Nigeria's role as a stable producer has taken a hammering of late.

...volunteer force. We Americans have become so soft and liberal that we don't have the guts anymore to stand and be counted. The same is true in our civilian agencies as well.

Obasanjo himself has not publicly committed to running. But with a bill calling for a constitutional amendment now before parliament, the President's backers...
China's President isn't used to being heckled. But last Thursday, as Hu Jintao addressed reporters at the White House during his U.S. visit, a woman from a newspaper run by the meditation sect Falun Gong loudly interrupted him, calling him a "murderer" and threatening that his days were numbered.
